The story

PSV Eindhoven is a storied Dutch professional football club that has increasingly professionalized its financial operations. The club has twice structured corporate partner loan funds to manage capital needs for infrastructure and the player market, bypassing traditional bank lending. In 2023, PSV took a notable step by appointing Ebury as its exclusive fintech partner, signalling a strategic shift toward active FX and cash management given the club's significant international payment flows from transfer fees, prize money, and cross-border sponsorships.
