Notre Dame Global Partnerships (NDGP), the multimedia rightsholder for the University of Notre Dame’s Athletics Department, today announced a partnership with digital-first fintech innovator Deserve, and the launch of the new Notre Dame PRO Mastercard for alumni and fans. The new card program will help support the student scholarship funds of local Notre Dame clubs.

With the Notre Dame PRO card, alumni and fans can earn cash back rewards – 3% on travel, 2% on restaurants, 1% on everything else – as well as participate in exclusive Notre Dame experiences like virtual season preview events and autograph sessions on game weekends. PRO cardholders also receive a one-year membership to Priority Pass™, which gives cardholders access to over 1,300 of the world’s premier airport lounges and experiences at a discounted rate. Additionally, cardholders receive cell phone protection for up to $600; Mastercard World Benefits, including identity theft protection and stolen wallet assistance; and no international transaction fees.

“Our alumni and fans are some of the best and most supportive in the world, and we’re thrilled to partner with Deserve to offer them a credit card with benefits and perks that matter to Fighting Irish Fans,” said President of Notre Dame Global Partnerships, Theodore Loehrke.

“With Notre Dame Global Partnerships, we’ve been able to build a card that is seamless, easy to sign up for, and directly benefits the University itself,” said Kalpesh Kapadia, CEO and Co-Founder of Deserve.
