The Premier League (PL) club, Chelsea FC have welcomed Skrill, a leading digital payments brand, as their official tour partner.
Skrill has also been named Chelsea’s presenting partner for their pre-season tour opener against Wrexham AFC. On July 24, the unit will also meet the EFL League One side at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The agreement will increase the brand’s visibility during the team’s American tour, permitting fans all around the world to utilise Skrill and Paysafe’s online cash solution Paysafecard as payment options at the Chelsea FC online store until the conclusion of the year.
Skrill, a distinguished digital wallet brand and member of Paysafe’s consumer wallet product family, was established in 2001 and is now accessible in over 130 countries. The company allows consumers and organisations to transact using 260 payment methods in over 40 currencies worldwide.
Casper Stylsvig, Chelsea’s Chief Revenue Officer, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Skrill onboard as Official USA Pre-Season Tour Partner of Chelsea FC. We admire their company ethos of offering customers an agile and adaptable approach to financial services, and they’ll provide fans with great opportunities to interact with Chelsea across multiple touchpoints. We’re excited to come together for our match in Santa Clara and get the tour started in style.”
Rob Gatto, Paysafe’s Chief Revenue Officer, said, “Our Skrill digital wallet is truly a game-changer for Chelsea fans’ matchday experiences, empowering them with many ways to pay for merchandise quickly and securely, and with all transactions completed through a single tap on their smartphones, so no action on the pitch is missed. We’re also excited about making our paysafecard product available to fans later in the tour.
