Singapore – Arsenal Football Club has announced a major multi-year partnership with Airwallex, a global payments and financial services platform, which will become the club’s Official Finance Software Partner.
The partnership will also see Airwallex serve as the Presenting Partner of Arsenal Men’s pre-season tour across Eastern Asia, including stops in Singapore and Hong Kong. As part of the collaboration, Airwallex’s technology will be integrated into the club’s operations, starting with payment gateway support during the tour and expanding into other commercial efficiencies in the long term.
Under the agreement, Airwallex will gain rights to use Arsenal’s Men’s and Women’s first team branding and deliver exclusive fan content at Emirates Stadium during Premier League and Women’s Super League (WSL) fixtures.
Juliet Slot, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer, welcomed the new partnership: “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.”
Jack Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Airwallex, said the partnership marks a significant milestone for the company. “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.”
He added that the collaboration aims to enhance both the club’s internal operations and the fan experience. “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.”
The agreement marks another major step in Airwallex’s expansion into elite global sports, following its ongoing activation with Formula One’s McLaren Racing. It also follows a recent Series F fundraising round that valued the company at US$6.2 billion, underscoring its growing influence across Asia-Pacific, EMEA, and the Americas.
