The Citadel Athletics #PoweredbyREV

CHARLESTON, SC (July 12, 2024)The Citadel and REV have signed a multi-year agreement that will make the Charleston-based financial institution the newest cornerstone partner for the Military College of South Carolina. REV will become the official credit union of Bulldog Athletics. Through this designation, REV will have exclusive rights to launch its new Bulldog Checking account later this year that will feature a REV debit card with The Citadel’s branding. 

Supporting the military community is nothing new to REV. Originally founded on Joint Base Charleston in 1955, REV was established to provide members of the Armed Forces with products and services to guide them through every phase of their unique financial journey. Since then, REV has grown into one of Charleston’s most-recognized financial institutions, achieving $3.6 billion in annual economic impact in 2023 and regularly being acknowledged as one of the region’s top credit unions, to include being named a recent recipient of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year award. 

President & CEO, Jason Lee, emphasized the significance of the partnership, commenting, “We are excited to team up with The Citadel to support its Corps of Cadets, student athletes, and alumni both on and off the field. The partnership between REV and The Citadel embodies the synergy between our two organizations and the mutual commitment we have in supporting the military community and the Charleston Metro Region.” 

Commenting on the impact of the partnership, The Citadel Athletic Director Mike Capaccio said, “We are extremely excited and thankful for the opportunity to work with a group like REV. Not only will this partnership impact our student athletes and the department, but will have a direct impact on our staff, supporters, and the community.”

As an extension of the partnership, the #UpTheGood Foundation Powered by REV will create special activations during the basketball and football seasons that will benefit local nonprofit organizations. Starting this season, the Foundation will donate to a local non-profit for all field goals and three-pointers made by The Citadel football and basketball programs. This is just one of the many ways The Citadel Athletics and REV will join forces to further the credit union’s mission of building resilient communities.
