GoTyme Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), becoming its official bank partner for the next three years. This collaboration reflects GoTyme Bank’s belief in creating real impact by supporting communities, nurturing local talent, and championing opportunities for Filipinos at home and abroad.

GoTyme Bank continues to differentiate itself through partnerships that reflect its core values of innovation, inclusion, and empowerment. By working with the PFF, the governing body for football in the country, the bank is extending its reach into the sporting arena—supporting a movement that is gaining traction nationally and regionally.

“We understand that success isn’t a straight path—it’s full of hurdles. That’s something we see in sports every day,” says GoTyme Bank CEO Nate Clarke. “There is an undeniable love for football in the country, and it’s only continuing to grow. Our partnership with the PFF allows us to be there for athletes and fans alike. We want to be part of the story of bringing Philippine football onto the global stage.”

The partnership will support the development of football at all levels, from elite competition to grassroots programming, with a focus on both athlete performance and fan engagement. Key initiatives include:

• GoTyme Bank Cup 2025

The launch of the GoTyme Bank Cup will bring together men’s and women’s national teams from the Philippines, South Africa, Vietnam, and Singapore. This regional tournament aspires to become a key platform for high-level competition and increased visibility for Philippine football.

• Support for National Teams

PFF’s national teams, coaches, and players will serve as brand ambassadors for GoTyme Bank. The bank’s products will be integrated into the team’s financial operations, including allowances for both domestic and international use, highlighting GoTyme Bank’s comprehensive international travel offerings.
​

• Fan Engagement Programs

The partnership will include initiatives to deepen fan engagement, including limited-edition merchandise, ticket promotions, meet-and-greet opportunities with national team players, and community-based watch parties during major matches.

• Grassroots Development and Financial Literacy

GoTyme Bank will also initiate nationwide grassroots programs that combine youth football training with financial education. These efforts aim to support holistic development among aspiring young athletes while promoting financial inclusion in underserved communities.

• Enhanced Visibility and Accessibility

GoTyme Bank will maintain a strong brand presence throughout the partnership—from jersey branding to in-stadium and fan zone activations. Attendees will be able to open accounts and transact using GoTyme Bank services for merchandise and concessions, creating an integrated on-site experience.

In addition to financial and operational support, GoTyme Bank will provide athletes access to world-class banking tools designed to meet their needs both locally and abroad.

The Philippine Football Federation also views the collaboration as a major milestone for the sport.

“This is the first time we are partnering with a bank, and we couldn’t have found a better ally than GoTyme Bank,” said Freddy Gonzalez, Director of Senior National Football Teams. “We both share the goal of bringing Philippine football further, not only by supporting our national teams but also by developing training camps for young kids. This is a shared vision that shows GoTyme Bank is the right partner to help us build the future of Filipino football.”
