BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Heartland Bank And Trust Company is excited to announce a special offering for Illinois State University (ISU) Redbirds fans. Customers can now showcase their school pride with a custom ISU Redbirds design on their debit cards. This initiative not only allows for personal expression but also directly supports ISU student-athletes.
For a nominal fee of $10, Heartland Bank customers can select the vibrant ISU Redbirds design for their debit cards. A significant portion of this fee, $5 to be exact, will be donated directly to the Illinois State Athletics Weisbecker Scholarship Fund. This fund is crucial in providing financial assistance to talented student-athletes at Illinois State University, helping them achieve their academic and athletic goals.
Diane Lanier, Chief Retail Officer at Heartland Bank, highlighted the customer-centric approach behind this offering. “While customized debit card designs are a new feature, the concept of personalization is not. Customers have enjoyed personalized checks for years,” Lanier stated. “In today’s increasingly digital world, and with a growing emphasis on environmental consciousness, we wanted to extend this personal touch to debit cards, offering options beyond our standard design.”
Heartland Bank understands that personalization is not for everyone. Therefore, a standard debit card remains available at no cost for customers who prefer the traditional design. Customers interested in personalizing their debit card with the Redbirds design can easily pre-order through Heartland Bank’s user-friendly website at www.hbtbank.com/redbirds. Alternatively, they can reach out to any of Heartland Bank’s conveniently located local offices to place their order. The website also provides a comprehensive list of all participating schools in the Spirit Debit Card program.
However, the Spirit Debit Cards program is more than just about aesthetics; it’s about community support. Fred Drake, Chairman and CEO of Heartland Bank, emphasized this commitment, stating, “Heartland Bank and Trust Company is deeply rooted in the communities we serve, and we are incredibly proud to offer Spirit Debit Cards. We are constantly seeking meaningful ways to connect with and support our local communities. This customized debit card option is an exciting way for us to partner with our customers in financially supporting the schools they care about.”
Heartland Bank and Trust Company stands as a testament to community banking, with assets totaling $2.5 billion. Proudly headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, this independently owned bank operates numerous offices throughout Illinois.
