Airwallex to Power Arsenal Hospitality Payments and Enhance Supporter Experience
Airwallex, a leading global payments and financial platform, will now power all hospitality payments at Emirates Stadium as its advanced Payments Acceptance (PA) software is integrated into Arsenal’s operations.
The upgrade brings a single, fully integrated payments system to Arsenal’s hospitality operation, that will streamline every transaction across premium seating, corporate boxes, and VIP experiences.
As Arsenal’s Official Software Partner, the integration embeds Airwallex into the infrastructure behind a growing area of the club’s matchday experience. It will also deliver reduced costs, as well as a faster and smoother experience for supporters purchasing hospitality at the club.
“It is wonderful to be deepening our partnership with Arsenal, bringing the power of Airwallex’s payment technology to the club’s world-class hospitality offering,” said Christos Chamberlain, UK and European General Manager at Airwallex. “Our Payment Acceptance solution will not only create a frictionless payment experience for fans but also deliver meaningful cost savings to the club – proving how innovative financial infrastructure can elevate sport and entertainment experiences.”
Omar Shaikh, Global Partnerships & Ventures Director at Arsenal, said: “We were delighted to welcome Airwallex into our family because they share our ambition, and they are a leader in what they do. We benefit from the expertise they bring, and the innovation they are already delivering for us and our supporters.”
This announcement builds on Airwallex’s growing footprint in global sports partnerships, which includes Formula One’s McLaren Racing, and comes after Airwallex announced it has surpassed $1B in annual revenue run rate (ARR) and raised $330M in a Series G fundraising.
