Feyenoord first to enable crypto payments with Settle from Knaken

Feyenoord has taken a significant step by becoming the first Dutch football club to enable season ticket renewals for the 2024/2025 season using cryptocurrency. For Knaken, this is a special moment as we debut our product Settle in the dynamic sports industry, in collaboration with our Rotterdam partner, the cup winner of 2023/2024.

Settle with Crypto or Euros

Ease of payment is central to Settle: it represents a move towards flexibility and convenience for the supporter. This platform not only makes it possible to pay with crypto but also offers the familiar ease of transactions in euros, all with the user's needs in mind.

The power of this partnership

This collaboration between Feyenoord and Knaken demonstrates how traditional sports values and the future of financial technology can come together to create a richer and more connected supporter experience. With Settle, we jointly enter a new era where the loyalty of supporters merges with the benefits of modern payment options.

Ruud van der Knaap, Commercial Director of Feyenoord, emphasizes the essence of this collaboration: "This initiative fits well within Feyenoord's vision of innovation and customer focus, where ease for supporters is central. Feyenoord is proud to take this step together with Knaken and thus further shape the future of financial transactions in sports."

From Knaken, we share the enthusiasm. "The Settle integration at Feyenoord symbolizes our mission to lead in the fintech sector," says Erik Hollander, our CCO. "It is an example of how we can enrich the sports world with innovative solutions and strengthen the relationship between the club and its supporters."

A promising Kick-off

Although Settle is currently deployed specifically for season ticket renewals at Feyenoord, this is just the beginning. Knaken and Feyenoord share the ambition to further integrate this technology into other facets of the online customer experience.
