Ebury has
renewed its partnership with Southampton Football Club for the 2025/26 season,
maintaining its position as the Championship team’s official fintech partner.

The
London-based payments specialist first teamed up with Southampton in October
2024. Now the companies are extending their collaboration as the club competes
in England’s second tier following relegation from the Premier League.

Ebury Extends Southampton
FC Partnership for Second Season

Southampton
will continue using Ebury’s international payments platform and currency
exchange services. The partnership covers money transfers and other financial
operations that football clubs need when dealing with overseas transactions.

Ebury’s
branding remains visible around St Mary’s Stadium, appearing on LED displays
and big screens during home matches. The financial arrangement details weren’t
disclosed.

The renewed
deal adds to Ebury’s expanding sports portfolio. The fintech firm already works
with Aston Villa in the Premier League, Scottish club Rangers, and Dutch team
PSV Eindhoven. In the past, the club was also sponsored by the Israeli fintech company eToro.

Southampton
currently sits in the EFL Championship after being relegated from the Premier
League last season. The club hopes to secure promotion back to England’s top
flight under manager Russell Martin.

Growing Sports Focus

Football
clubs increasingly need specialized financial services to handle cross-border
payments for player transfers, sponsorship deals, and international
merchandising. Ebury claims it has built a dedicated sports business unit to
serve these needs.

“We’re
thrilled to extend our role as Official Fintech Partner of Southampton Football
Club in the upcoming second and third seasons,” said Peter Brooks, Ebury’s
Global Head of Sports. The company helps clubs manage foreign exchange risks
and navigate international trade complexities, he added.

Southampton’s
Finance Director Dave Driver described Ebury as “a fantastic partner to
work with, providing a high level of expertise to support our finance
operations.”

Ebury
operates from more than 40 offices across 29 markets with 1,800 employees. The
company serves over 21,000 customers and handles transactions in more than 130
currencies. The company reported £220 million in revenue for fiscal 2024, with
EBITDA reaching £9 million.
