We look forward to working together over the coming years to drive efficiencies across our commercial operations. Our partners are an important part of the Arsenal family, fuelling our growth and supporting the investment that will bring us sustained success."

Co-Founder and CEO of Airwallex, Jack Zhang, said: "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. 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."
