February 17, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Inter Miami CF News Release
MIAMI – Inter Miami CF today announced a major, multi-year partnership with City National Bank (CNB), one of the largest banks based in Florida. Under the partnership, City National Bank becomes The Official Bank of Inter Miami CF, marking the first long-term alignment for CNB with a major league sports team as the bank expands its brand awareness and reach throughout South Florida and across the state.
“City National Bank is synonymous with South Florida,” said CEO and Managing Owner of Inter Miami CF, Jorge Mas. “As a long-time client of City National Bank, I know firsthand the opportunities they provide South Florida’s families. I am excited for our teams to bring this partnership to life just in time to kick off our third season in Major League Soccer with our home opener on February 26.”
“Securing the right partners is a pivotal step in building any professional sports team,” added Chief Business Officer of Inter Miami CF, Xavier Asensi. “City National Bank shares our values and commitment to winning and being great partners for our community with a service-first approach.”
The partnership represents the union of two organizations joining forces to further the sport of soccer in the region. Inter Miami CF has garnered global appeal and City National Bank is one of the fastest-growing banks in the country, with a strong presence in South Florida, key markets across the state, and nationally, creating a powerful platform for both brands.
“City National Bank’s partnership with Inter Miami CF is a major milestone in our decades-long history and it is emblematic of our commitment to building the leading financial institution throughout Florida,” City National Bank Vice Chairman & CEO Jorge Gonzalez said. “As we grow our presence and brand throughout Florida, it’s fitting that CNB is partnering with a global club that represents one of the most beloved sports in the world. We’re incredibly proud of our partnership with Inter Miami CF, of what it represents to our clients and to our employees, and we look forward to advancing the love of fútbol throughout the communities we serve.”
With more than 75 years of history providing exceptional service to businesses and consumers in Florida, City National Bank has $22 billion in assets and a footprint extending from Miami, north to Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville. City National Bank is Florida’s Big Bank Alternative — large enough to provide its clients the products and services they need, but still able to deliver a personalized and relationship-based experience with access to decision makers.
CNB offers a full suite of banking services, ranging from commercial and residential lending to private banking and wealth management.
In addition to becoming the Official Bank of Inter Miami CF, the partnership will showcase City National Bank branding on in-stadium signage during all Inter Miami home matches and City National Bank clients will receive exclusive access and unique experiences.
