sealing a multi-year partnership with Austrian cryptocurrency company Bitpanda.
The deal, effective immediately, designates Bitpanda as the new platinum

Bitpanda's
Chief Executive, Eric Demuth, emphasized the shared values and winning
mentality that unite the football giants and the crypto platform, laying the
groundwork for a long-term and fruitful partnership. Demuth stated: “Bayern
Munich and Bitpanda are united by a strong winning mentality and the
expectation of themselves to get better every day. For us, these shared values
are the perfect basis for a long-term partnership."
Bitpanda's
foray into sports sponsorships has seen similar successful deals with the
Italian Rugby Federation in 2023, covering the men’s Rugby World Cup, a
sponsorship deal with tennis’ Madrid Open in 2022, and a premium sponsorship of
the World Padel Tour in the same year.
Ideal
Partnership as Bayern's Finances Soar
Jan-Christian
Dreesen, the Chief Executive of Bayern Munich, expressed his enthusiasm for the
collaboration: "Like FC Bayern, Bitpanda is the market leader in
its field. We want to achieve our goals together in the future." This
sentiment was echoed by Andreas Jung, Bayern's Chief Marketing Officer, who
emphasized the synergy between the two brands.
While
Bayern embraces a new era of crypto sponsorship, the club has celebrated
financial success. The 2022-23 financial year saw
Bayern Munich posting record revenue, totaling €854.2 million, along with a
remarkable year-on-year increase in profit. Earnings before taxes more than
tripled, soaring from €17.1 million to €54.5 million.
Lukas
Enzersberger-Konrad, the Deputy Chief Executive of Bitpanda, emphasized
the fitting nature of the partnership: "Bayern Munich are
record champions. Bitpanda is the market leader in Europe. Both together in
a partnership: That’s a good fit!”

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
