5 August 2025, Limassol: Leading European financial technology provider, payabl. has proudly announced its new partnership with Anorthosis Famagusta FC, becoming the club’s Official Payments Partner for the 2025–2026 season. This collaboration highlights payabl.’s ongoing investment in Cyprus, both as a key business location and as a vibrant community it actively supports.
The partnership brings together two organisations with shared values: a drive for excellence, a strong sense of identity, and a long-standing relationship with the people of Cyprus. As one of the island’s most historic football clubs, Anorthosis Famagusta FC is much more than a sports team; it’s a symbol of pride, resilience, and unity for generations of fans.
Marios Tsiailis, Group CFO of payabl., commented on the partnership: “At payabl., we believe in the power of sports to unite people across cities, generations, and backgrounds. Our connection to Cyprus runs deep. It’s one of our key operational locations and a place where we’ve been actively investing, not just through technology and financial services, but through community partnerships that matter. Supporting a club like Anorthosis Famagusta FC is our way of giving back, by standing beside organisations that inspire passion, loyalty, and a sense of belonging.”
As part of this new alliance, payabl. will provide the club with its state-of-the-art payment technology, including the implementation of the payabl.gateway – a robust, secure payment processing solution that will power the club’s online store and ticketing system, as well as the payabl.POS solution, payabl.’s smart point-of-sale terminal designed for fast, seamless in-person payments.
Whether fans are shopping online or visiting the stadium, they’ll benefit from a streamlined, modern payments experience that enhances convenience and reduces friction. This end-to-end setup marks a significant step forward in the club’s digital transformation and demonstrates how fintech innovation can directly improve everyday interactions for supporters and local communities alike.
Beyond payments infrastructure, the partnership will also see brand visibility at matches, fan-focused activations, and joint community outreach programmes designed to bring tangible value to supporters and the broader public.
Rafail Demetriou, CEO of Anorthosis Famagusta FC stated: “We are delighted to welcome payabl. as our Official Payments Partner. This collaboration brings advanced technology into the heart of our club operations, improving the experience for our fans and modernising the way we manage payments across all touchpoints. Beyond technology, we value partners who share our commitment to community and excellence, and in payabl., we’ve found a team that truly aligns with our vision. We look forward to building a strong and lasting partnership.”
The agreement comes at a time of continued growth for payabl., whose innovative payments solutions support merchants across Europe and beyond. Through a combination of technology-driven services and a people-first approach, payabl. empowers businesses to thrive in the modern economy while also fostering meaningful relationships with the communities it serves.
This new collaboration reinforces payabl.’s role as both an innovator in financial technology and a dedicated supporter of Cyprus’s social and sporting landscape.
