Airwallex kicks off Arsenal money deal

Global payments platform Airwallex has become the official finance software partner of Arsenal to support the football club’s financial operations.

Under the partnership, Airwallex branding will appear across Emirates Stadium and Arsenal’s digital channels.

It marks Airwallex’s second global sports partnership, following one with Formula One’s McLaren Racing and comes weeks after the business was valued at $6.2 billion in a Series F fundraising announcement.

Jack Zhang, co-founder and chief executive of Airwallex, said: “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.”
