Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union in St. Paul, Minn., signed a multi-year marketing contract with the athletics program at the University of Minnesota.
The credit union said in a press release Monday that it will sponsor promotional signs at four of the university's venues, the Williams, Ridder and Mariucci arenas and the Sports Pavilion, starting this fall. The signage will display at certain events that include women's and men's basketball and gymnastics, men's hockey, volleyball and wrestling.
A not-for-profit, financial cooperative owned by more than 185,000 members, Affinity Plus FCU has 28 branches in Minnesota and more than $1.8 billion in assets.
Affinity Plus FCU relocated a branch near the University of Minnesota in 2010, and students at the school became eligible for membership in 2010. The credit union has branches at four other state schools: Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University-Mankato, Minnesota State University-Moorhead and St. Cloud State University.
