First Tennessee Bank has unveiled a Visa debit card featuring the image of Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, a standout basketball player at the University of Memphis who has returned to his alma mater as head coach of the men’s basketball team.
Concurrent with the Feb. 19 card’s launch, First Tennessee donated $15,000 to the Penny Hardaway basketball camp to offset the cost for participants. Visit FTB.com/Penny or any First Tennessee Bank branch to get the card, available for $8 to qualified checking-account customers.
