Milan, 27 August 2026
Milan, 27 August 2026 – Satispay, the super-app that simplifies the management of money and financial services, and Genoa CFC, a symbol of Genoa and Liguria's sporting identity since 1893, announce a welfare partnership: Satispay Meal Vouchers and Fringe Benefits will become part of the flexible compensation package for the Club's employees.
For Genoa CFC, this is the first-ever introduction of a fringe-benefit service for its employees. The two-year agreement forms part of Satispay's strategy to support companies in adopting simple, innovative welfare designed to strengthen employees' purchasing power in their daily lives.
Unlike legacy networks, welfare credit is loaded automatically into the Satispay app that employees already use every day, eliminating additional cards and paper vouchers to guarantee maximum freedom of spending. This model generates a positive impact for everyone: it offers employees an easy, intuitive user experience, while merchants receive their takings by the next working day. With 400,000 participating merchants, this virtuous network has made it possible to build one of Italy's broadest welfare acceptance networks.
"We are proud to launch this partnership with Italy's oldest football club, a historic organisation with which we share strong local roots and a focus on the community," said Angela Avino, Chief Business Development Officer at Satispay. "This collaboration enables us to put our technology at the service of those who work for the red-and-blue team every day. By integrating meal vouchers and fringe benefits into an app that is already familiar and widely accepted, we enhance the purchasing power of those who work for the Club while generating a positive impact for the entire merchant network in Liguria and beyond."
"We are honoured to welcome Satispay to our team of top partners: this initiative is inspired by development strategies, the implementation of efficiency models and an increase in facilities for club staff," said Flavio Ricciardella, General Manager of Genoa CFC. "Choosing Satispay Meal Vouchers and Fringe Benefits provides a simple, flexible tool at their fingertips, capable of transforming welfare—a topic to which we are increasingly attentive—into immediate, genuine support for everyday expenses."
Satispay Meal Vouchers are loaded automatically into a dedicated section of the employee's Satispay app. The system also makes it possible to combine the meal voucher with any additional amount taken from the personal wallet; the vouchers are valid on public holidays and for 1 year.

With the launch of debit cards in partnership with Mastercard, which enable users to pay with Satispay throughout the world, the company is taking another step towards banking, with the goal of offering all the functions of an account in a single app.
Genoa
Genoa CFC is Italy's oldest football club and the first team to win the national football championship. Founded on 7 September 1893, the club boasts a long series of firsts and ranks fourth nationally by number of league titles (9). The holder of some of the trophies with the greatest historical value dating back to the pioneering era of Italian football, which are kept at the Genoa Museum in the tourist area of the Old Port, the club has twice received C.O.N.I. honours for sporting merit, for its role in promoting football and the ideals instilled by its founding fathers. In the ongoing evolution processes, the veneration of tradition is preserved in accordance with corporate-identity standards, feeding into the ambition to realise the Genoa brand's potential both in Italy and in terms of international positioning.
