Chicago Red Stars announce partnership with Wintrust

Wintrust has entered into a multi-year partnership with the Chicago Red Stars as the official bank of the Chicago Red Stars, the Red Stars Reserves and the Academy program.

The Chicago Red Stars, founded in 2007 are one of nine professional teams in the National Women's Soccer League and are one of the longest tenured clubs in North American women's soccer. The Red Stars play at Toyota Park in Bridgeview with the 2018 regular season running March to September.

"We are thrilled with Wintrust's multi-year commitment to the Red Stars and women's sports - they are such an important part of the sports landscape in Chicago," said Chicago Red Stars owner, Arnim Whisler.

The Red Stars will also have its own branded debit card, to be available summer 2018 at Wintrust Bank locations.

"We hope our fans are as excited as we are about the Red Stars-branded debit card and expect them to embrace Wintrust as they do with our other partners in growing the team," said Whisler.

"This is a really exciting partnership for us," said Wintrust president, CEO & founder Edward J. Wehmer. "As Chicago's Bank, we're proud to align ourselves with the things that are most iconic in this area, like the Chicago Red Stars. We've cheered for the team for a decade, so we're honored to be the Chicago Red Stars' official bank."
