URC pleased to announce renewal of OFX partnership

THE United Rugby Championship (URC) is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with OFX, the global money transfer and foreign exchange specialist, as the league’s Official Currency Exchange Partner.
The renewed agreement builds on a successful collaboration that has supported the URC during a period of record-breaking growth. Last season, the league achieved unprecedented engagement across attendance, broadcast audiences and digital platforms.
As the URC’s trusted foreign exchange partner, OFX will continue to streamline the league’s international financial operations through the OFX Financial Platform—an all-in-one solution for modern finance teams. From managing cross-border payments to mitigating risks from currency fluctuations, OFX’s expertise ensures the URC can focus on what matters most — delivering world-class rugby on the pitch.
URC will gain access to a new feature on the OFX platform that enables the creation of Digital FX Forwards, allowing exchange rates to be locked in for future payments and supporting greater certainty and confidence in financial planning.
This partnership goes beyond sponsorship. It reflects a shared commitment to excellence, with OFX empowering the URC to manage its global financial needs efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively.
Maeve McMahon, President EMEA, of OFX, said: “We’re delighted to renew our partnership with the United Rugby Championship. Just as the BKT URC brings together teams and fans across borders, the OFX platform helps URC seamlessly manage their payments, spend, and currency flows in one place.
Our expertise in global payments ensures the URC can focus on the game, while we handle the complexities of international finance. We’re proud to support the BKT URC as it continues to grow, inspire fans worldwide, and deliver world-class rugby on the pitch.”
Martin Anayi, CEO of the United Rugby Championship, said: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with OFX as the official foreign exchange partner of the BKT URC. The United Rugby Championship is a truly global competition — our clubs, players and fans connect across multiple markets and currencies every single week. Managing those international relationships requires real expertise, and with OFX we know we have a partner that not only brings world-class capability in foreign exchange, but also shares our ambition to keep growing the BKT URC on the international stage.
“I want to personally thank OFX for their continued belief in the URC and for the trust they have shown in renewing this partnership. This is a multi-layered sponsorship that delivers real value for both of us — not only in terms of business outcomes, but also in the way it helps us connect with communities around the world. Our relationship with OFX has been built on genuine collaboration, and we are excited to deepen that partnership further as we continue to grow the league together.”
The 2025/26 BKT United Rugby Championship season kicks off on Friday, 26 September, featuring 151 matches across 21 weekends, 16 teams, 5 territories, and 2 hemispheres.
