Ebury, the global financial services firm, is pleased to extend its sponsorship of the talented professional driver Gabriel Bortoleto. Ebury began its sponsorship of the Brazilian driver in September 2023, with Bortoleto clinching the championship title at the year’s end.

Bortoleto is now set to advance to the next tier of global racing, lining up for the eighth FIA Formula 2 season. The first race is slated to take place in Sakhir, Bahrain, from February 29th to March 2nd, followed by visits to 13 additional venues.

Ebury is delighted to sponsor Bortoleto through his debut F2 season, supporting his continuous development as he goes from strength to strength as a driver in the formula racing world. This reiterates the firm’s dedication to supporting international sporting talent.

Ebury is rapidly expanding its portfolio of sporting partnerships and sponsorships, currently working with global brands that range from football teams such as Rangers and Fulham Football Clubs, to the American NFL team, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

As one of the fastest-growing global fintech companies, Ebury now boasts over 1,700 employees operating from 40 offices across 25 countries. It has achieved a revenue growth of 85%, reaching £204 million in 2023, up from £110 million in FY 2022, and continues to expand rapidly around the globe.

The business has established a strong presence in Brazil following its acquisition of the Bexs Group. Expansion in Latin America is a pivotal aspect of its global growth strategy, having recently opened an office in Chile to deepen its regional presence.

Fernando Pierri, Global Chief Commercial Officer at Ebury, commented, “Gabriel’s outstanding performance reflects Ebury’s ethos of achieving global excellence. Our partnership underscores our shared commitment to fostering success and recognition, both in sports and beyond. We eagerly anticipate following Gabriel’s career and wish him the best of luck for the coming season.”

Gabriel Bortoleto added, “I’m very excited to continue my partnership with Ebury. It’s a global company that, like me, is expanding in Brazil and faces the challenges of operating in a competitive market. Together, we bring both speed and innovation to the international payments segment.”
