Newcastle adds Corpay to support international business growth

Newcastle United have appointed Corpay as their Official Foreign Exchange and Cross-Border Payments Partner under a multi-year agreement designed to support day-to-day operations and the club’s wider international growth strategy.Corpay’s Cross-Border business will provide currency expertise, foreign exchange risk management and access to a platform that brings global payments together through a single point of access.Newcastle chief revenue officer Dave O’Connor said: “We are delighted to welcome Corpay to our growing portfolio of industry-leading partners.“As we continue to scale Newcastle United as a high-performance international business, Corpay will play a key role in supporting our global operations. Their expertise in cross-border payments and foreign exchange will help us operate more efficiently across markets, providing the financial infrastructure needed to deliver our long-term vision.”The agreement gives Corpay an operational role alongside its partner designation, connecting the sponsorship with services used to manage transactions across international markets.Its Cross-Border platform supports payments in more than 145 currencies across over 200 countries, providing businesses with a central route for handling payments to overseas counterparties.For Newcastle, the stated objective is to reduce barriers to international business activity while improving the efficiency of payments and currency management as operations expand.Corpay Cross-Border Solutions chief marketing officer Brad Loder said: “We’re thrilled to be named the Official FX and Cross-Border Payments Partner of Newcastle United, one of the Premier League’s most iconic and ambitious clubs.“This partnership further strengthens Corpay’s position as the trusted corporate payments and currency risk management provider of choice across the Premier League. We look forward to supporting the club throughout what promises to be an exciting season, both on and off the pitch.”Foreign exchange risk management addresses the uncertainty created when a business has payments or receipts in currencies whose values can change before a transaction is settled.The announcements do not specify Newcastle’s currency exposures or the individual transactions Corpay will support, with the remit described broadly as covering daily operations and global growth.The partnership therefore brings together two commercial objectives: Newcastle gain access to specialist payments infrastructure, while Corpay adds another Premier League relationship through which to promote its corporate services.That combination makes the agreement relevant beyond brand visibility, with delivery tied to the financial processes supporting the club’s international activity.The next phase will centre on Corpay providing its payment platform and currency risk expertise as Newcastle develop their business across markets.
