Gonzaga University and U.S. Bank Expand Partnership With a New Debit Card Design

By: via Business Wire

Students and supporters can carry their Bulldog pride in their wallet thanks to the U.S. Bank Visa® Debit Card

Gonzaga University supporters can now show their school pride with the new U.S. Bank Visa® Debit Card with the Gonzaga University design from U.S. Bank. The card was launched on May 11, 2025, and features College Hall, the campus’ oldest building.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250521673012/en/

New U.S. Bank Visa® Debit Card featuring Gonzaga University and College Hall, the oldest building on campus.

New U.S. Bank Visa® Debit Card featuring Gonzaga University and College Hall, the oldest building on campus.

Opened in 2006, the U.S. Bank branch and ATM is located inside Gonzaga’s John J. Hemmingson Center at 702 E Desmet Ave. Generously supporting the Gonzaga community, U.S. Bank provides $75,000 each year to Gonzaga’s general scholarship fund.

“We’re proud of our longstanding partnership with U.S. Bank, which has made a meaningful impact on Gonzaga students for two decades,” said Kara Hertz, assistant vice president of alumni and external relations. “The new debit card design featuring our iconic College Hall is a great way for our community to show their Zag pride while supporting future scholarships.”

“We are very excited to expand the bank’s connection with Gonzaga University and provide students, faculty, staff and supporters the opportunity to showcase their school spirit,” said Brian Young, U.S. Bank district manager for Eastern Washington. “It’s important for U.S. Bank to continue offering our knowledge, services and tools to the GU community. Featuring College Hall, a storied representation of higher education in Spokane, this debit card design signifies our commitment to the GU family.”

Gonzaga students were included in the debit card design process by voting on their favorite among three card designs. Each student who voted received a $5 Starbucks gift card for their participation. More than 800 students cast a vote, ultimately leading to the winning design of the close-up view of College Hall and the St. Ignatius of Loyola Statue.

This is the first U.S. Bank debit card design with Gonzaga University. The U.S. Bank Debit Card with the Gonzaga University design is the tenth school featured in the program, which started in 2020. So far, more than 100,000 customers have chosen to show their school pride right on their debit card.

The new cards can be ordered through usbank.com, by using the award-winning U.S. Bank Mobile App, or when visiting a local branch. From industry-leading video banking options to friendly, reliable in-person service, U.S. Bank is building the bank of the future by combining digital technology with a human presence.
