Posted by on August 28, 2026

Meritrust Credit Union announced its partnership with quarterback Hauss Hejny, highlighting a shared commitment to building financial confidence and planning for what’s ahead.

Hejny is bringing his experience to Colorado State in Fort Collins, and as he begins his next chapter, this partnership will give Hejny an opportunity to connect with students and young adults navigating their own financial futures.

“Football has taught me to stay focused, put in the work, and be ready for what’s next,” said Hejny, a Division I quarterback who is a highly regarded dual-threat player. “I’m excited to partner with Meritrust to learn how those lessons can carry beyond the field and share them with the community I care about, especially when it comes to building strong financial habits and making decisions for our future.”

“We’re excited to welcome Hauss to Team Meritrust as he takes on this new opportunity on the field.” said James Nastars, Meritrust CEO. “We look forward to working together to help more young people feel confident about their financial futures.”

This partnership will highlight the important role financial well-being plays in people’s overall health and strengthen Meritrust ‘s connection across Colorado communities including Fort Collins.
