Scott Credit Union New St. Louis Blues Checking and Debit Card to Benefit Members and Community

St. Louis, MO - You can now show your excitement about the champion St. Louis Blues with a Blues Checking Account and Blues debit card from Scott Credit Union.

The local credit union has launched the exclusive checking account and branded debit card of the St. Louis Blues.

Blues Checking is a free, high-rate checking account that offers the opportunity for accountholders to earn up to 4.05% annual percentage yield on their balance up to $25,000.

Plus, credit union members will receive a 10 percent discount on Blues merchandise at STL Authentics Store at Enterprise Center when they use their Blues debit card.

The Scott Credit Union Blues Debit Card also supports the community at no cost to the cardholders. For every purchase made with a Blues Debit Card, a percentage will be donated to the Scott Credit Union Community Foundation.

“We are proud to extend our partnership with the Blues to now offer Blues Checking and debit card. This is really two championship teams working together.” Scott Credit Union President & CEO Frank Padak said.

Padak noted that Blues Checking will be part of the credit union’s strategy to grow its membership in Illinois and Missouri. Scott Credit has 14 locations in Illinois and has opened branches in Ladue, Crestwood and Ferguson on the Missouri side of the river.

“This is a great opportunity to grow our business on both sides of the river with the excitement of the Blues coming off their championship season,” he said.

Blues Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Eric Stisser echoed Padak’s comments about Blues Checking being exciting for people throughout the region.

“This partnership is important to us because it really expands our brand further on the Illinois side of the river,” he said. “With Blues Checking, people from throughout the region can really show their pride in the St. Louis Blues. Scott Credit Union and the Blues are two championship-caliber teams. We are excited about our partnership with SCU.”

Scott Credit Union began its partnership with the Blues before the beginning of last season.

SCU’s agreement with the Blues also includes naming rights to the exclusive Rinkside Club & Pub 67 inside of Enterprise Center and advertising in the venue.

“Now, the expanded agreement includes the checking account and debit card for the next five seasons,” Padak added. “We are thrilled to be adding to our partnership with all of the excitement in the St. Louis region about the Blues.”

Scott Credit Union has partnerships with two major professional sports franchises in St. Louis. SCU also has a partnership with the St. Louis Cardinals.

“We are extremely proud to be a partner with such tremendous organizations,” Padak noted.

Scott Credit Union has 17 area locations: Scott Air Force Base, East Belleville, Fairview Heights, Collinsville, O’Fallon, Edwardsville, Waterloo, Highland, West Belleville, Mascoutah, Troy, Wood River, Columbia, IL, Ladue, MO, Crestwood, MO, Ferguson, MO, and its Home Office in Edwardsville.
