PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The Phoenix Suns and Mercury just announced a multi-year partnership, naming Bell Bank as the organization’s official banking partner.
The agreement with one of the nation’s largest family- and employee-owned banks also applies to the Valley Suns, the Phoenix Suns NBA G League affiliate.
“Bell Bank shares our people-first values and goal of making a positive impact in the local community,” said Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury Chief Executive Officer Josh Bartelstein. “This deal represents more than a partnership; it’s a commitment to innovation and engaging our communities in new and meaningful ways.”
As part of the partnership, Bell Bank is investing in a fan experience at the suite level. PHX Arena’s suite-level A will now become the Bell Bank Suite Level.
The group will also give back to the community through Bell Bank’s Pay It Forward initiative. The program was founded in 2008 and every year, each Bell Bank employee receives funds to give as they choose to individuals, families and organizations in need.
“Bell Bank’s all-in commitment to growing with and giving back to the Valley is what makes this partnership so powerful,” said Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer Dan Costello. “Together, we will invest in programs that make a lasting impact in the Valley – serving our fans, our partners and our community.”
The company has 30 locations nationwide. Four of those are in Arizona.
“Bell Bank is committed to growing in Arizona, so partnering with a world-class organization that shares similar tenets of giving back to the communities we serve, was an easy decision,” said Bell Bank President and CEO Michael Solberg. “Thank you to our partners at Oak View Group for bringing our teams together. We are eager to deepen our roots in the Valley and look forward to the opportunities this partnership will provide us to engage with the fanbase and community partners in order to have a greater local impact.”
