West Ham United have strengthened their alliance with The Kingdom Bank (TKB), expanding the relationship from a regional collaboration to a global partnership.
Under the new multi-year agreement, the Dominica-based digital financial institution has become the club’s official global banking partner, a move that reflects both organisations’ shared ambitions for international growth and innovation.
The expanded deal will give The Kingdom Bank prominent global visibility through integrated branding across West Ham United’s platforms, including pitch-side LED displays, in-stadium screens at London Stadium, and the club’s digital and social media channels. A series of international fan activations and online campaigns are also planned to engage supporters around the world.
In addition to its association with the men’s team, The Kingdom Bank will continue its support of West Ham United Women, reinforcing a joint commitment to equality, inclusion, and the growth of the women’s game.
Speaking on the partnership, West Ham United Executive Director, Nathan Thompson, said, “The Kingdom Bank and West Ham United’s continued growth has been testament to our successful partnership together, so it was natural to see them enhance their partnership to access a more global audience.
“We are excited to connect The Kingdom Bank with new audiences in the years ahead, and enable our fans to benefit from their expert global digital banking services.”
Founder of The Kingdom Bank, Nebil Serkan Zubari, added, “What began as a regional partnership has grown into a global collaboration that reflects our shared values – excellence, innovation, and connecting with communities around the world.
“This partnership allows us to bring our secure, digital-first banking solutions to an even wider audience, empowering both West Ham United fans and businesses worldwide. We look forward to celebrating many successes together, continuing our support of West Ham United Men’s and Women’s teams, and building lasting connections with supporters”.
Founded in the Commonwealth of Dominica, The Kingdom Bank serves clients in more than 80 countries, offering secure, digital-first financial solutions for global businesses and institutions. The upgrade to global partner status follows a period of rapid growth for the bank, which has seen its monthly transaction volumes double over the past 18 months.
The partnership between West Ham United and The Kingdom Bank began in March 2024, when TKB became the club’s Regional Banking Partner across the Eastern Caribbean. The shift to a global partnership represents a significant milestone in a collaboration that merges football, finance, and technology to reach diverse markets worldwide.
This announcement adds to a growing list of commercial successes for West Ham United, including recent partnerships with BTL, Salus, Modibodi, eToro, Trainline, Corpay, BoyleSports, Paul Robinson Solicitors, and Lilley Plummer. Collectively, these deals underline the club’s commitment to building a sustainable future through strategic global partnerships that strengthen its brand both on and off the pitch.
