Chase launches Chicago Bears contactless debit card

Consumer and commercial banking service provider Chase joins forces with Illinois-based professional American Football team Chicago Bears and MasterCard Worldwide to launch the Chicago Bears Debit MasterCard. The new card aims to provide Chase personal checking customers who are also Chicago Bears fans with an alternative to cash payments intended to cut back on transaction time and improve access to Bears special offers.

The new branded debit MasterCard, which comes with no annual fee, has a PayPass-enabled Blink feature, which allows customers to use the MasterCard tap-and-go service at all accepting merchants. Blink is a Chicago Bears proprietary contactless payment system which allows fast cashless payments at the Soldier Field stadium in Chicago. The new debit MasterCard is available to all new and existing Chase customers and also provides access to exclusive discounts and promotions with the Chicago Bears as well as invitations to various Chase-hosted special Bears events.
