If there is one thing that connects Rotterdam and Heerenveen, it is the drive to think ahead and push boundaries. Therefore, we are 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 are bringing not only Rotterdam flair to the field but also the future of payments to the stands.
Knaken “Preferred Supplier Transfers” of Heerenveen
At Knaken, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation. We are proud to be a co-sponsor of SC Heerenveen and to hold the title “Preferred Supplier Transfers.” Our Settle Transfers technology makes international transfers simple and secure using cryptocurrencies, while the receiving club still 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 cryptocurrencies via Knaken Settle. This makes SC Heerenveen the first Dutch club to implement this modern payment solution so broadly. This says a lot about the Eredivisie club and how it serves its supporters.
“At SC Heerenveen, we strive to provide our supporters and business partners with the best possible experience, both on and off the field. By collaborating with Knaken and introducing the Settle payment method, we can offer more flexibility and convenience. This perfectly aligns with our ambitions to be a progressive and innovative 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 they have one foot in the future, without the risks of crypto-assets on the balance sheet. We ensure that fans enjoy the same innovative experience that the club embraces.
A touch of Rotterdam in the North
The fact that Van Persie, a true Rotterdamer, is now the coach of SC Heerenveen makes this collaboration even more special for us. Just as he always brings out the best in his team, at Knaken, we strive to provide the best financial solutions. Together with Heerenveen, we want to demonstrate 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 shows with this collaboration that they have courage and want to lead. As early adopters of our technology, they embrace the future of financial transactions. This is not just a step forward; it is a powerful statement. Together, we bring innovation to the football field and make digital assets accessible to everyone,” says Erik Hollander, CCO of Knaken.
