The Broncos and Ent Credit Union on Monday announced a multi-year partnership agreement, marking the first time in more than 20 years the franchise has made a major change in its banking sponsor.
The Broncos had previously been partnered with U. S. Bank, but are making the move to Ent, the largest credit union in Colorado.
The partnership continues a run over the past year in which the franchise has come to new major partnership agreements, including last spring’s training facility naming rights agreement with what is now CommonSpirit Health System.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Ent to our team not only as the Broncos’ official banking partner but also as a Broncos Foundation Legacy Partner,” Broncos chief commercial officer Dennis Moore said in a release announcing the partnership with Ent.
