SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers announced today that Amerant Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in Florida, will now serve as the official bank of the Panthers and FLA Live Arena.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Amerant and elevate their status to become the official bank of the Panthers and FLA Live Arena,” said Florida Panthers Chief Revenue Officer Shawn Thornton. “Looking ahead, we are excited for Amerant Bank to offer their world-class customer service and banking experience to our fans, staff and South Florida community.”
Amerant will also become the presenter of the Panthers one-of-a-kind premium club that includes food, beer, wine, soda and a great view of the stage for concerts or center ice for hockey games. Lounge 954, FLA Live Arena’s premium center-ice seating area, will now be known as ‘Amerant Vault.’ Guests will have a dedicated wait staff, private restrooms, a private entrance to the arena, rotating premium food offerings, a mixologist to craft custom cocktails and more.
“Our goal is to be the bank of choice in the markets we serve,” said Jerry Plush, Chairman & CEO of Amerant Bank. “Aligning our company with partners with strong brands is an essential step in achieving that goal. We are delighted to expand our relationship with the Panthers and look forward to even greater success together.”
The Panthers and Amerant Bank will also partner together to support South Florida veterans, a community that both organizations have histories of serving. Throughout the regular season, $40 per save made by a Panthers goaltender will go towards a veteran-focused nonprofit organization within the South Florida area.
The two organizations will also offer incentives to drive financial education in the Panthers youth fan base. Panthers Kids Club members will have the opportunity to receive a $75 certificate for those who open an Amerant youth checking account. Certificates will be available in Panthers Kids Club swag bags, automatically included in select Kids Club memberships.

The partnership builds on Amerant’s current partnership as the Panthers primary home and away game helmet partner. Amerant branding will continue to be included on virtual on-ice logo positioning and now expanded to digitally enhanced dasher boards, among numerous other new features.
The expanded relationship will also include curated opportunities during home games at FLA Live Arena, furthering Amerant’s efforts to provide a truly unique customer experience.
