Rize Credit Union announced it is partnering with Las Vegas Lights FC for the 2026 season to support community initiatives on and off the field.
During the 2026 season, Rize will host a Community Corner Night and offer two local youth the chance to attend a free players clinic. The credit union will also host two financial empowerment workshops featuring Las Vegas Lights FC players and staff.
"I was raised in Las Vegas, so this partnership is personal for me," Jennifer Oliver, president/CEO of Rize, said. "At Rize, we understand the unique needs of the Las Vegas Valley community, and partnering with the Las Vegas Lights allows us to show up in a real way by helping people realize their potential right here at home. Rize exists to serve our community, especially those who are underbanked or underserved. We are driven by a people-first mission, with social impact at the core of who we are."
Rize members will receive discounted tickets and exclusive in-stadium experiences. New qualifying Rize members will receive a goal-based financial incentive where Rize will deposit funds into accounts based on Lights goals scored at home. Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
"We are excited to enter this partnership with Rize," Lights CEO Shawn McIntosh said. "Their mission is very similar to our mission here at the Lights: Always striving to deliver the best possible experience for our fans while growing our impact through grassroots efforts across all of Las Vegas. Their alignment with that mission makes this partnership a great match as we grow side-by-side with Rize through 2026 and beyond."
This isn't the first time the credit union has partnered with a sports team. Last July, Rizeannounced it had become the official credit union for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Rize, based in Irwindale, Calif., serves Southern California and Southern Nevada, and has $1.2 billion in assets. Las Vegas Lights FC is the home for professional soccer in Las Vegas.
