Openpay adds Brentford FC to merchant roster

Buy now, pay later venture, Openpay, has announced Brentford F.C. as an official partner and the latest English football club to join its merchant roster. 

This follows tie ups with Fulham FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Fans will be able to make an initial payment and then spread the cost of online purchases over two or three months, interest free on everything over £45.

Openpay launched in the UK in early 2019, its first market outside of Australia and New Zealand.

Andy Harding, UK Managing Director, says: “This is a fantastic partnership for us as Brentford are the team to watch in the Sky Bet Championship this season.”

“With the opening of their new stadium, it’s an exciting period for the club, and we’re thrilled to be part of it.”

“While we all eagerly await the return of fans on match day, we’re glad our payment solution can help fans support the club through the purchase of replica kits and merchandise.”

James Parkinson, Commercial Director at Brentford FC, says: “This is an innovative addition to our retail offering and one that we hope our loyal supporters will consider during their online shopping experience.”
