This partnership with Newcastle United FC is part of our global strategy to continue boosting brand visibility within the UK and Europe.”
Dale Aitchison, Head of Commercial at Newcastle United said: “We are really excited to welcome AstroPay as our new Official Payment Solutions Partner and look forward to launching beginning of a new, mutually beneficial relationship.
