Powering global payments for Manchester United

Overview

Manchester United operates on a truly global scale, with supporters, partners and suppliers in every corner of the world. Under a multi-year agreement, Sokin was appointed the club's Official Global Business Payment Solutions Partner, providing its global business payments platform to power the club's international business-to-business transactions.

The challenge

Running a global commercial operation means managing complex international payments across multiple currencies. The club needed one comprehensive solution to handle accounts payable, accounts receivable and foreign exchange exposure, without juggling multiple providers.

The solution

• Multi-currency AP and AR: streamlined workflows for paying suppliers and receiving funds across currencies, all from one platform.
• Strategic FX management: access to wholesale exchange rates and transparent pricing to manage currency exposure.
• Global reach: payouts in 70+ currencies to 170+ countries over SWIFT and local rails.

The results

Sokin has helped Manchester United enhance financial control, simplify operations and drive greater efficiency across its cross-border finance operations.

"We are delighted to welcome Sokin to the Manchester United family. Their global business payments infrastructure and forward-thinking approach align perfectly with our commitment to delivering best-in-class services and experiences to our fans and partners across the world."
