Jacksonville, Fla.; June 13, 2012 – As a major sponsor of the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena Football League, 121 Financial Credit Union has launched the official “Sharks” VISA credit card.
Applications for the card, which features the Sharks logo and team colors, can be obtained at the Shark’s games, at any 121 branch or online. People receive a free Sharks/121 T-shirt just for applying for the card.
The Sharks card is a standard VISA credit card, which will have an introductory rate of 0% for six months for those who qualify.
“We wanted to support our home team, so as a credit union, we thought a natural way to promote the franchise would be through an exclusive Sharks’ credit card,” said Cindy Breslin, vice president of marketing for 121 Financial. “Hopefully fans will get their card and use it throughout the community. That way when they pull out the card with the Sharks’ logo, other people will see it and think about supporting arena football in Jacksonville.”
121 Financial Credit Union offers full banking and loan services to any individual and small businesses located throughout Northeast Florida. Established in 1935, 121 Financial Credit Union has over 36,000 members. Deposits are federally insured by NCUA. For more information, visit 121fcu.org.
