The British and Irish Lions

Les Lions britanniques et irlandais, la plus prestigieuse équipe de rugby en tournée, représentent la force combinée de l'Angleterre, de l'Irlande, de l'Écosse et du Pays de Galles.

Lors de leur récente tournée en Australie, les Lions avaient besoin de solutions financières transfrontalières efficaces pour gérer des paiements internationaux complexes dans plusieurs juridictions. Sokin a fourni un support de paiement mondial pour faciliter ses opérations de voyage et ses exigences financières internationales.

« C'est un plaisir d'accueillir Sokin dans la famille des Lions alors que nous nous préparons à partir pour l'Australie cet été. Rien dans le sport mondial ne vaut un Lions Tour britannique et irlandais, et la nature transfrontalière et mondiale d'un Tour signifie que des partenaires tels que Sokin sont parfaitement adaptés. »
