Tennis: Barclays to succeed HSBC as official banking partner of Wimbledon from 2023

The British bank Barclays will become an official partner of the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament from 2023 as part of a "multi-year deal," announced the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) on 23/11/2022.

Barclays succeeds HSBC (GBR), the banking partner of the English tournament between 2008 and 2022. "Alongside its partnership with the world-renowned tennis event, Barclays will donate an annual contribution to the Wimbledon Foundation, the official charity of the Club and The Championships, which represents the biggest ever donation made by an official partner," explained the tournament's organisers.

"The beginnings of this banking partnership date back to the 1960s, when Barclays' first sub-branch in the area was built directly below the stands of Wimbledon's Centre Court, a unique venue which opened its doors only for the fortnight of The Championships," added the AELTC.
