Saints marching on with fintech partnership
Premier League Southampton have announced a partnership with one of the fastest-growing global fintech companies.
Ebury has become the club’s official fintech partner for the 2024/2025 campaign.
The Saints are the fourth European club in Ebury's growing sports portfolio, which already includes the likes of Rangers, PSV Eindhoven and AS Monaco.
Ebury is a global financial services firm that empowers businesses to trade and grow internationally, offering products including international payments and collections, business lending and FX risk management.
The company will support the club through its expertise in global financial operations, and will have access to LED and big screen advertising around St Mary’s Stadium.
Dave Driver, Southampton Football Club’s finance director, said: “We are pleased to be partnering with Ebury – an exciting and innovative leader in financial services – to not only strengthen our own operations, but also to collaborate with an organisation that’s committed to supporting the wider Hampshire SME community.
“By sharing expertise and fostering collaboration, we hope to drive growth and success for businesses, both on and off the pitch."
Peter Brooks, global head of sports at Ebury, added: “I’m thrilled to announce the latest partnership in our global sports portfolio.
“Southampton's rich history as a football club, along with the area's legacy as a global port, aligns perfectly with our expertise in supporting sporting brands and British businesses with global ambitions.
“We’re continuously evolving our product offerings to meet the specific needs of sporting organisations, and our partnership with Southampton allows us to further facilitate this product expansion and look forward to supporting Saints throughout the season, both on and off the pitch.”
