The new partnership brings Inter a step
forward in its journey to serving and providing US customers with
an unmatchable experience
BELO
HORIZONTE, Brazil, Oct. 18,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inter&Co (Nasdaq: INTR), a
leading digital bank offering financial and non-financial services
to more than 22 million customers in US and Brazil, announced today that it became an
official new partner of the New York City Football Club
(NYCFC).
The NYCFC is one of 28 teams that compete in the Major League
Soccer (MLS) in US. As an Official Remittances Partner to NYCFC,
Inter will offer unique fan experiences throughout the 2023 season.
New York City is home to 6.5
million soccer fans, the largest base in US. With a talented
contingent of Brazilian players in the First Team, including
Talles Magno, Gabriel Pereira, Thiago
Andrade, Heber Araujo, and
José Kléberson, NYCFC's partnership with the Brazilian-based
company is the Club's latest tie to the Latin American country.
The partnership with NYCFC marks Inter's first major partnership
in the US following the expansion of its offering in the country
with the acquisition earlier in the year of a remittance fintech
company and the transfer of its listing to NASDAQ in June.
Andres Gonzalez, NYCFC Vice
President of Partnerships, said: "NYCFC is committed to
increasing access to soccer to underserved communities. Similarly,
our new partners at Inter are committed to making its services
accessible to everyone. We are thrilled to partner with a global
brand and like-minded company such as Inter."
Priscila Salles, CMO of
Inter&Co, stated: "We are very excited to partner with the
NYCFC, not only for what they represent as one of the leading MLS
teams, but also as a way to connect more meaningfully with the
Brazilian and Latino communities in the US. Our commitment to
making money remittances affordable and accessible to everyone
resonates deeply with NYCFC values of inclusion and
community."
Inter's remittance business services are currently available for
cross-border payments originating in the
United States, Brazil and
Canada to more than 60 destination
countries. As part of its expansion, Inter is focusing on
consolidating its remittances and cross-border payments for
Brazilians living in the US and for those traveling abroad, as well
as expanding to other underserved immigrant populations.
