TYSONS, Va.—PenFed Credit Union said it is expanding its relationship with the Washington Justice, a professional e-sports team that competes in the Overwatch League.
The three-year partnership begins with the 2021 season and will feature PenFed as an official Jersey Patch Partner of the Washington Justice and a first of its kind team-branded credit card.
“PenFed is proud to continue our partnership with the Washington Justice here in our backyard of Washington D.C.,” said PenFed Credit Union President CEO and PenFed Foundation CEO James Schenck. “The passion and enthusiasm of Justice players and fans is wonderful to witness, and we are excited to expand our partnership and welcome even more Justice fans as PenFed members this year. The credit card will make history as the first esports team branded card.”
According to the credit union, as the first-ever team branded credit card within the e-sports industry, Washington Justice fans will now have an innovative opportunity to show off their support for the premier esports organization in the DMV region, while receiving unique perks geared specifically towards esports fans, such as digital loot boxes, discounts on team merchandise and behind-the-scenes access to future content.
In addition to the new credit card, starting in 2021 PenFed will be featured on Washington Justice jerseys as an official Jersey Patch Partner and will be worn by Justice player jerseys during competitive broadcasts. The Justice will also collaborate with PenFed on a number of social media campaigns, as well as behind the scenes content of the team’s practices.
PenFed is a premier sponsor of The Washington Justice, the exclusive Overwatch League franchise for the entire DMV region. During the past season, The Washington Justice collaborated with PenFed to host interactive and virtual experiences alongside the Overwatch League matches during the homestand weekends. PenFed will work closely with the Justice on in-person and virtual experiences for fans throughout the 2021 season and fans should stay tuned for more information soon.
