“We are honored to join forces with such a storied and beloved global brand to make financial empowerment products more accessible to more people,” said Bertrand Sosa, president and chief brand officer, Ouro. “This unique opportunity to help people take their money further so they can experience more of what they love is the motivation behind our work, and to have Real Madrid collaborate with us to deliver even more value to such a passionate fan base is very special.”
By joining sports loyalty with financial solutions, Ouro and Real Madrid aim to deepen the Madridistas’ connection with their club, maximize the value of their money and promote financial responsibility and accessibility. The partnership also supports Ouro’s strategic focus on innovation, growth, and expansion to global markets.
“We are proud to announce our partnership with Real Madrid, a global icon that shares our values of excellence, winning spirit, solidarity, and humility,” added Roy Sosa, Ouro CEO and Co-founder. “Today we start a movement that transcends sports. Together, we will empower millions of fans and customers to achieve their financial goals and turn their dreams into reality.”
The partnership will soon launch a co-branded Netspend card featuring the Real Madrid brand in the U.S. in anticipation of the team’s upcoming U.S. Summer Tour.
The partners have also started joint development of a co-branded financial product combining the loyalty benefits of the Madridista Club membership with a digital multi-currency wallet they will begin rolling out to fans around the world later this year. Loyal Real Madrid fans can expect these payment products to bring them even closer to the action, with special access to discounts and experiences at the point of sale and beyond.
