"It's not just football anymore – for the first time, we will be offering customized cards that feature images of former collegiate athletes who led the University of Alabama to national title victories in women's golf, softball and gymnastics," said Jon Mulkin, consumer segment director at BBVA Compass. "With Alabama seeing its most successful athletics year in school history, we are thrilled to be able to recognize these distinguished athletic programs that bleed crimson."
Checking account customers with a check card can choose from six card designs, with three options showcasing women's golf, softball and gymnastics. Three football-inspired designs are available, including an option emblazoned with the university's championship ring.
