The American multinational financial services corporation, Visa has announced a partnership with the three-time women’s grand slam winner, Iga Swiatek. As a result of this agreement, the Polish player has been named the newest Visa ambassador to support her charitable and financial literacy initiatives.
The international payment system seeks to financially assist Swiatek in her broad charitable endeavours, which vary from raising awareness of mental health issues to aiding Ukrainian youngsters.
By offering mental health and wellness tools, as well as a platform for the tennis player to produce digital content for the payments giant, Visa will support some of Swiatek’s projects.
Moreover, Swiatek will wear the Visa logo on her clothing while competing to defend her US Open crown, which begins on August 28 in New York.
On the development, Swiatek, said, “I started my career in tennis at a young age and even if I’m still learning, I’m trying to use my voice and become a role model for other young people. Joining Team Visa with so many incredible athletes will help me continue to advocate for what’s important to me, advancing the sport and social issues that matter most to me.”
The Polish tennis grand slam champion joins football stars Lucy Bronze and Alexia Putellas as one of 600 Visa athletes, more than half of whom are female. Swiatek now has Visa as part of her expanding list of endorsement agreements, making her one of the most marketable players in the entire world.
