Women's Basketball Season Is Here: Meet The New MVP Of Game Day

Just tuning into women’s basketball? Don’t worry! Even the most devoted fans are still catching their breath from the offseason. To get you up to speed: the league’s explosion in popularity has kicked off an expansion era, meaning there’s a brand-new team in the mix this season. Add in a wave of trades and signings, a fresh pipeline of college talent, and the social media frenzy over tunnel ‘fits and courtside celebrities, and you’ll be forgiven if you’ve missed a few storylines.

And there’s a new MVP we’d like to introduce you to: Paze®: a fast, easy checkout offered by banks and credit unions. Once you catch basketball fever (pun intended), you need a teammate that makes game-day moments easier, whether you’re stocking up on team merch for an impromptu tunnel walk photoshoot, perfecting your lucky pre-game beauty look, or ordering a last-minute pizza.

Read on to see how Paze is changing the checkout game.

It Makes Game-Day Moments Go Smoothly

Think of Paze as the free-agent who signed on to make everything click at the eleventh hour when it really counts (like when you’re throwing together a last-minute themed outfit 30 minutes before tip-off). More directly: it’s online checkout offered by banks and credit unions that makes shopping simple and convenient. If you already have an eligible card with a bank like Bank of America, Chase, Capital One, Citi, or Wells Fargo, you’re well on your way to a successful season. (Check here to see if your bank or credit union offers Paze.)

It Saves You Precious Pre-Game Time

Paze is all about convenience. With Paze, your eligible cards show up in one place, ready to use.

This means that whether you’re hosting a watch party or deep in your pre-game ritual — custom jersey laid out and superstitious game-day snack prepped — you can avoid the most annoying situation known to fans: scrambling to order last-minute merch or food delivery while you manually type your credit card number into your phone. (Why do they make those fields so tiny?)

There’s no need to create a new login. No typing in your full card number. No painstaking process to activate your account.

Just select Paze at checkout with a participating online merchant, log in through your bank or credit union, and check out with a card that’s already connected to your account. Also, if your bank issues you a new card for any reason, your card details stay up to date.

It Takes (Some Of) The Stress Out Of The Fandom Experience

Whether you’re at the stadium, or tuning in from a barstool at your local watch party or the comfort of your couch, the last thing you need is the added concern of wondering if your game-day purchases are keeping your info safe.

Paze provides added security because your actual card number is not shared with merchants. It’s a nice layer of protection when you’re stocking up on basketball essentials, so you can worry less about online shopping logistics and more about your team’s playoff prospects.

It’s Doesn’t Disrupt Your Game Day Rhythm

Paze is available where you’re already shopping for gear. If you’re planning your game-time ‘fits, you can buy officially licensed merch at Fanatics and style it with a team-inspired beauty look from Sephora. If you’re hosting at home, grabbing food from Dunkin’ or Domino’s is a breeze. And if you’re jetting off to an away game in Vegas or Chicago (OK, fancy!), you can even use Paze while booking flights through United Airlines.
