LAYBUY BECOMES OFFICIAL PARTNER OF MANCHESTER UNITED
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) provider Laybuy has today announced it is partnering with Manchester United to give fans an exciting, new and interest-free payment option to help them buy merchandise and show support for the club.
Laybuy co-founder and managing director Gary Rohloff says the partnership, which sees Laybuy become Manchester United’s official BNPL partner, is the latest move by Laybuy to make top-flight football more accessible to fans across the UK.
“At Laybuy, we share our customers’ obsession with football, and we want to help as many fans as we can enjoy and celebrate the game. That is why we are incredibly excited to be partnering with Manchester United, who have some of the most passionate fans in the world,” says Rohloff.
The partnership will allow fans to buy club merchandise in the world-renowned Manchester United Megastore at Old Trafford and spread their payments with weekly interest-free instalments over six weeks, via the Laybuy app.
“We want to make life as easy as possible for Manchester United’s fans. Laybuy is simple to use and helps fans fit new merchandise into their weekly budgets by allowing them to buy goods now and spread the payments over the following six weeks,” says Rohloff.
“Best of all, Laybuy customers don’t pay interest, ever!”
As part of the partnership, Laybuy will look to further integrate its offering across a number of the club’s other retail platforms in 2021. Manchester United’s director of partnerships, Sean Jefferson, says the partnership with Laybuy demonstrates the club’s commitment to making itself easily accessible to its fans.
“We know fans are looking for a range of different payment options that best meet their specific needs,“ says Jefferson. ”That is why we are delighted to be partnering with Laybuy, a global leader in Buy Now Pay Later technology, to provide fans access to a more convenient way of purchasing club merchandise and services.”
