Brentford FC has signed a partnership agreement with the new international money app, Zing.
Zing becomes the club’s official international payments and remittance partner, with this being the brand’s first partnership in sport.
Part of the HSBC group, Zing is a free app available to UK residents aged over 18. Zing focuses on making international money transactions worry-free by enabling users to hold money in over 20 currencies, send over 30 currencies, and spend across the world. This is all managed through an easy-to-use app with real-time currency exchange rates and low fees.
Zing’s brand will be prominent across Gtech Community Stadium and feature in content on club channels. They will also engage with the local community, through both the club and the Brentford FC Community Sports Trust. Zing will also provide giveaways for our fans to enjoy during the season.
Speaking on the new partnership, Fran Jones, Brentford’s commercial director said: "Zing is an exciting company with a bright future ahead and we’re so pleased to be working with them as we continue in the 2024/25 Premier League season.
