Rivas Sports, Inc.

Rivas Sports, Inc. is a franchised business under Pro Image Sports and was established in 1996 by my late husband, Eddie Rivas, and myself. We sell MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, NCAA and MLS-approved sports apparel and novelty items. We just opened our 11th location in Southern California.

I switched to 1st Century Bank after 20 years with my former bank. During a period of rapid growth, my former bank fell short of meeting my needs. It was an overwhelming time, during which I realized that my business required more from my bank. Robert Rodriguez and his team made the transition to 1st Century very smooth and supported the growth of my business. 1st Century came through with a line of credit while also implementing effective controls to protect my bank accounts. I’m no longer worried about fraudulent activities or surprise fees. If I need anything, all I have to do is call or text. Knowing that I have the constant support of my Relationship Manager and the backing of a strong bank makes a huge difference.
