U.S. Bank named official banking partner of Toyota Arena in Ontario

(ONTARIO, California, January 8, 2024) – U.S. Bank is the Official Banking Partner of Toyota Arena, Ontario Convention Center and Greater Ontario California (GOCAL) under a new, long-term partnership between the leading financial institution and the region’s premier destination.

The partnership extends through September 2031, and signifies a shared commitment between U.S. Bank and GOCAL to enrich the experience of event-goers, travelers and the local community. As part of the agreement, U.S. Bank customers will be able to take advantage of exciting benefits, including fast-pass access to events, ensuring seamless ticketing and event entry.

The partnership also will support local initiatives, charitable programs and financial literacy education designed to uplift and empower residents throughout the Greater Ontario and Inland Empire region.

“We are excited to work with U.S. Bank, not just as a financial partner but as an advocate for positive community impact. This multi-year partnership goes far beyond creating a better event experience, but will benefit our region in so many ways,” said Michael Krouse, President and CEO of GOCAL, Toyota Arena and the Ontario Convention Center.

“This partnership is a great illustration of our commitment to our local communities,” said Chris Venhoff, SVP and Inland Empire Market Leader for U.S. Bank. “The Toyota Arena and Ontario Convention Center are regional economic drivers. We’re looking forward to seeing the continued growth in the area and making an impact through financial literacy awareness and community involvement.”

Krouse and Venhoff said the partnership opens the door for future collaboration, such as joint-hosted events, exclusive VIP experiences, and continuous investments in facility improvements.

The 11,000-seat Toyota Arena, the Ontario Convention Center and GOCAL are a major reason that the Inland Empire has emerged as Southern California’s fastest-growing destination. The Inland Empire now ranks as the 12th largest metropolitan area in the United States, is home to one of the most successful airports in the country (Ontario International) and attracts tens of millions of visitors each year.
