Heerenveen goes big with Knaken Settle

If there’s one thing that connects Rotterdam and Heerenveen, it’s the drive to think ahead and push boundaries. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Knaken and SC Heerenveen are joining forces for a unique collaboration. With Robin van Persie as the new coach of Heerenveen, we’re not only bringing the Rotterdam flair to the field but also the future of payments to new heights.

Knaken 'preferred supplier transfers' of Heerenveen
At Knaken, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation. We are proud to co-sponsor SC Heerenveen and hold the title of 'Preferred Supplier Transfers'. Our Settle Transfers technology makes international transfers easy and secure using cryptocurrency, while the receiving club gets paid in euros. This means no more hassle with currency conversions and faster, cheaper transactions. This collaboration underscores that both Knaken and SC Heerenveen are ready to set new standards and lead in their fields.

Heerenveen puts fans first
From now on, SC Heerenveen fans can pay for their season tickets, individual tickets, and merchandise with cryptocurrency via Knaken Settle. SC Heerenveen is the first Dutch club to deploy this modern payment solution so broadly. This speaks volumes about the Eredivisie club and its commitment to serving its supporters.

"At SC Heerenveen, we strive to offer our supporters and business partners the best possible experience, both on and off the field. By partnering with Knaken and introducing the Settle payment method, we can offer more flexibility and convenience. This fits perfectly with our ambitions to be forward-thinking and innovative as a club," says Martin Koopman, Commercial Manager of SC Heerenveen.

Payments are processed faster and more securely, without the hassle of traditional banking. For Heerenveen, this means stepping into the future without the risks of holding crypto-assets on the balance sheet. We ensure that supporters receive the same innovative experience that the club embraces.

A touch of Rotterdam in the north
The fact that Van Persie, a true ‘Rotterdammer’, is now the coach of SC Heerenveen makes this collaboration even more special for us. Just as he always gets the best out of his team, we at Knaken strive to provide the best financial solutions. Together with Heerenveen, we want to show that innovation and ambition go hand in hand. Just as Robin seeks success on the field, we aim for success in the financial world by delivering innovation and reliability. "SC Heerenveen demonstrates with this collaboration that they have guts and want to lead the way. As early adopters of our technology, they embrace the future of financial transactions. This is not just a step forward; it’s a powerful statement. Together, we bring innovation to the football field and make digital assets accessible to everyone," says Erik Hollander, CCO of Knaken.
