Airwallex Signs Arsenal FC After $300M Funding Round

Monday, 21/07/2025 | 08:53 GMT by Damian Chmiel

  • The new sports agreement makes the payments company Arsenal’s Official Finance Software Partner.
  • The deal comes just weeks after Airwallex closed its latest capital raise, which valued the company at $6.2 billion.

Arsenal

Australian payments company Airwallex has signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with Arsenal Football Club, expanding its sports marketing portfolio beyond its existing partnership with McLaren’s Formula One team.

Airwallex Expands Sports Portfolio with Arsenal Deal

The deal makes Airwallex Arsenal’s Official Finance Software Partner and will see the Melbourne-based company serve as presenting partner for the club’s upcoming pre-season tour across eastern Asia.

Arsenal announced the agreement would cover both its men’s and women’s teams, giving Airwallex branding rights and content opportunities during Premier League and Women’s Super League matches at Emirates Stadium.

Jack Zhang, Airwallex’s Co-Founder and CEO

“Partnering with Arsenal is a proud moment for Airwallex,” said Jack Zhang, Airwallex’s Co-Founder and CEO. “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.”

Financial terms weren’t disclosed, though the agreement comes just weeks after Airwallex raised $300 million in Series F funding that valued the company at $6.2 billion. The fintech firm, which processes payments for businesses operating across multiple countries, has been building its presence in elite sports since partnering with McLaren Racing last year.

Growing Sports Investment

Airwallex will handle payment processing for Arsenal’s Asian tour and work with the club to upgrade its payment gateway systems. The company gains access to Arsenal’s global fanbase, particularly in Asia where both organizations see growth opportunities.

“We’re delighted to welcome Airwallex to our Arsenal family, and to introduce them to our Gooners around the world on our upcoming men’s tour to Asia,” said Juliet Slot, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer. “We look forward to working together with them closely over the coming years to drive efficiencies across our commercial operations, supporting our growth and fuelling the investment that will bring us sustained success.”

Arsenal has partnered with several well-known brands from the world of finance before, including retail trading. Among them were Global Kapital Group and eToro.

Asian Market Focus

The timing aligns with Arsenal’s scheduled pre-season tour across eastern Asia, where Airwallex operates significant business. The payments company has been expanding its customer base across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

For Arsenal, the deal adds another major commercial partner as Premier League clubs continue seeking revenue growth through global sponsorships. The club hasn’t disclosed how much the Airwallex partnership contributes to its commercial income, though such deals typically run into millions of dollars annually for top-tier clubs.
