Airwallex and Arsenal Football Club Form Strategic Partnership
Airwallex, a leading fintech company, has announced a multi-year global collaboration with Arsenal Football Club, making it the Official Finance Software Partner of the prestigious English club. This partnership will see Airwallex support Arsenal's financial operations and integrate its payment systems into the club's activities, starting with the upcoming pre-season tour across East Asia.
The partnership is significant as it offers Airwallex the rights to use both the men’s and women’s first team branding, enabling the delivery of exclusive fan content during Premier League and Women’s Super League matches at Emirates Stadium. This move is expected to enhance brand visibility and fan engagement.
In addition to payment gateway support during the Asian pre-season tour, Airwallex’s technology will be embedded in Arsenal’s operations, aiming to create a smoother payments experience for the club's supporters. Beyond payment gateways, the partnership aims to leverage Airwallex’s financial platform capabilities to drive operational improvements and efficiencies in Arsenal’s wider commercial operations over the long term.
Jack Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Airwallex, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating that it will provide value for football, businesses, and people worldwide. He believes that the partnership aligns well with Airwallex’s ambition to build the "future of global banking" by partnering with a global football brand known for excellence and innovation.
This partnership marks Airwallex’s continued involvement in global sport, as they are already in their second year of partnership with Formula One team McLaren Racing. Airwallex recently completed a Series F fundraising round, valuing the company at US$6.2 billion, further solidifying its position as a key player in the fintech industry.
The collaboration between Arsenal Football Club and Airwallex is expected to last for multiple years, with Airwallex delivering content for fans attending matches at Emirates Stadium during the Premier League and Women’s Super League seasons. The partnership will undoubtedly bring about operational finance efficiencies for Arsenal, helping the club save time and money in its day-to-day financial operations.
