LIMA, OH— Superior Credit Union and the Western Buckeye League athletic conference have officially signed a marketing agreement making Superior the Official Financial Institution of the WBL. While common in college and professional sports, this deal is believed to be the first of its kind in Ohio high school athletics.
Under the agreement, Superior will provide the league and each member school with sponsorship and marketing considerations. Beginning this fall, fans will be able to listen to the all new “WBL Game of the Week” every week during football and basketball season on 93.9 KISS-FM, presented by Superior. Superior will also sponsor one WBL conference tournament each year. Finally, the WBL All Sports Trophy will officially be named the Superior Credit Union Commissioner’s Trophy.
As part of the deal, Superior will also underwrite the Western Buckeye League Sportsmanship Committee. This committee is composed of a minimum of 4 students from each of the WBL member schools as appointed by the athletic director and high school principal of each member school. The committee was created to promote sportsmanship and leadership among the league’s student-athletes.
In return, Superior will receive promotional consideration from the league and its member schools, including on the League’s website, wblsports.com, and the WBL Sports mobile app.
“Superior has always been supportive of our local schools. In pursing this partnership, we sought to package our support into a single agreement that would benefit both organizations,“ said Kurt Neeper, Vice President of Superior Credit Union.
“Superior’s office locations align almost perfectly with the WBL member schools. And like the Western Buckeye League, we have a long tradition of excellence in enriching the communities we serve,” said Neeper. “So when looking for a marketing partner, it only made sense to start with the WBL.”
“The athletic directors and member schools are in agreement that this is a good partnership for all involved,” said Robert Askins, WBL Commissioner. “This is a relatively new type of agreement for us, and knowing that this partnership will reflect on all member schools, we wanted to make sure that we were working with a quality organization. We found that in Superior.”
Superior Credit Union is a full-service financial cooperative serving members in West Central Ohio. Superior FCU currently serves over 52,000 members with assets of over $510 million. The credit union also provides consumer and mortgage loans, brokerage services, insurance services, checking and savings accounts, and small business services and loans.
The Western Buckeye League (WBL), founded in 1940, is a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The league is comprised of ten Ohio high schools: Bath, Celina, Defiance, Elida, Kenton, Ottawa-Glandorf, Shawnee, St. Marys, Van Wert and Wapakoneta.
Since visiting Superior Credit Union both Laurie and I have become members and moved money into investments through Superior. We have been VERY happy with the service provided by Tim Niebel and others that we have come in contact with. The customer service and value of being appreciated as a member by far surpasses any bank we have been in contact with or used. Prior to playing the Piggy Bank promotion, I had barely heard of Superior and after we talked to many of our friends who are members and got excellent reviews.Bill & Laurie

We could not be happier with our experience with Superior! Working with Kelly was a dream. Not only was she informative, she added a true personal touch to the entire process. Would absolutely recommend working with Superior CU for your mortgage needs!Connor & Katie
A year ago, we refinanced our home with Superior Credit Union and Kelly Dattilo. She was so incredibly helpful that when we recently bought a new home in Tucson, AZ, we called her immediately to ask for her help again! Kelly is very knowledgeable and professional and we highly recommend her for any kind of mortgage assistance. She’s readily available and very patient when I have questions and makes sure that I understand the answers which I really appreciate. Again, we highly recommend her – she’s the best!!Cindy & Rick
Kelly Dattilo was absolutely amazing to work with. She went above and beyond trying to find what would work best for me. She was very open and honest, which as a first-time buyer made everything easier. You can tell she genuinely cares about those she is working with.Renae M.
As a first-time homebuyer, I had the best experience with Kelly Dattilo at Superior. Her patience and kindness to explain all of the process and the different options made the entire experience seamless and exciting! The SuperiorFirst grant helped me so much throughout my process of homebuying and financing! I can’t thank Kelly enough for helping me secure my first home with the advantage of using the first-time homebuyers grant!Lindsey C.
Without the SuperiorFirst grant funds and help of Superior Credit Union, homeownership would not have been possible. The process from pre-approval to closing was very easy.Kalen L.
Todd and the rest of the amazing Superior staff made my vehicle purchase smooth and convenient for me. They truly went above and beyond to provide the most fantastic customer service, well past their closing hours so I could pick up my vehicle on time. I cannot thank them enough, from our personal accounts, business account, mortgage and now two auto loans - Superior is our number one choice!Holly S.
Thanks for your help with the loan!!! Love love love this car!!!Amanda M.
With the recent reduction in interest rates, we inquired to see if we could qualify for a better mortgage rate with Superior. We applied online to inquire about refinancing and were contacted within a day by Alisha at Superior. She provided us with plenty of information, answered all our questions and was great to work with. We qualified for a better interest rate which ultimately led to a reduction on our minimum principal and interest payment. This gave us the ability to reduce the time to pay off our mortgage by making the same monthly payment as we were with our previous lender. Superior was easy to work with, willing to answer all our questions and, most important, helped us save money.Alyssa & Chris
Julie and Kelly were both fantastic, they met all our needs and very professional. Even when we hit small roadblocks they worked through it, and always found solutions. Great company to work with, they will help save you tons of money.Shawn & Natalie
