MLS and Avant Will Soon Launch MLS Co-Brand Credit Cards

Major League Soccer (MLS) and Avant, a credit-first neobank, announced today a multi-year partnership. The agreement designates Avant as the Official Credit Card Partner of MLS and will result in the creation of the fan affinity credit card.

Cardholders will have access to benefits including ticket pre-sales, express entry to select major events, and merchandise. Additionally, cardholders will earn rewards points on purchases, including increased rewards for certain categories of purchases such as MLS-related purchases. Points can be redeemed for cash back, tickets to MLS matches, and gift cards for MLS merchandise. Exact details about the card will be revealed later on. Avant will also have the license to create specific credit card designs for 21 Major League Soccer clubs in the U.S.

Avant is a credit-first neobank that provides access to a full suite of digital financial solutions, including personal loans, credit cards, mobile banking and auto refinance. Through a combination of technology, analytics, and superior customer service, Avant gives underserved consumers access to credit. Avant, LLC is a financial technology company, not a bank. Avant-branded credit products are issued by WebBank.

The partnership with MLS follows Avant’s recent milestone of surpassing one million customers for the Avant Credit Card.
