Schalke banks dual deal extension

German Bundesliga football club Schalke 04 has signed four-year extensions to its partnerships with regional banks Volksbank Ruhr-Mitte and VR-Bank Westmünsterland.

The banks, which have both supported the club since 2003, will now rise to the next level of club sponsorship under the new deals that run through to June 2018.

Volksbank Ruhr-Mitte and VR-Bank Westmünsterland will continue to benefit from extensive marketing rights such as in-stadium perimeter LED advertising and branding on the club’s various media channels.

In addition, Schalke supporters will also continue to have access to exclusive offers and deals when banking with either Volksbank Ruhr-Mitte or VR-Bank Westmünsterland.
