Arsenal FC has unveiled a new multi-year global partnership with Airwallex, naming the FinTech firm as its Official Finance Software Partner.
As part of the agreement, Airwallex will serve as the Presenting Partner for Arsenal’s upcoming men’s pre-season tour in eastern Asia, which includes matches in Singapore and Hong Kong scheduled for late July.
The FinTech firm will power the club’s payment infrastructure throughout the tour and will work closely with Arsenal to explore improvements across their payment gateway systems and other operational areas.
The partnership gives Airwallex the right to use branding from both Arsenal’s men’s and women’s first teams. It will also allow the FinTech to engage fans through exclusive content and branded activations during fixtures held at Emirates Stadium across both the Premier League and the Women’s Super League.
Arsenal chief commercial officer Juliet Slot expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration. “We’re delighted to welcome Airwallex as our new partner, and we’re excited to introduce them to our global family of Gooners on our Men’s tour to Singapore and Hong Kong. We look forward to working together over the coming years to drive efficiencies across our commercial operations. Our partners are an important part of the Arsenal family, fuelling our growth and supporting the investment that will bring us sustained success.”
Airwallex co-founder and CEO Jack Zhang highlighted the strategic alignment between the two brands. “Partnering with Arsenal is a proud moment for Airwallex. We are building the future of global banking, and that means working with brands and businesses that are committed to global reach, excellence and innovation – all attributes that are deeply embedded at Arsenal.
“Whether it’s helping the club save time and money in their day-to-day financial operations, or creating a smoother payments experience for supporters enjoying the football experience, we believe this collaboration will create real value for football, for businesses, and for aspirational people all around the world.”
This marks Airwallex’s second foray into global sports partnerships, building on its ongoing collaboration with Formula One’s McLaren Racing.
