Ordr Named Official Payment Partner of USA Fencing

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, June 12, 2025 — USA Fencing, the national governing body for the Olympic and Paralympic sport of fencing in the United States, announced today a multiyear partnership with Ordr, the sports and entertainment industry’s most innovative payment platform, that will make Ordr the Official Payment Processing Partner of USA Fencing.

The partnership marks the first for Ordr with a U.S. National Governing Body (NGB) and deepens their sports relationships, as Ordr’s innovative technology platform is trusted by the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and Pittsburgh Penguins.

Beginning this summer, all USA fencing payments, including membership renewals, fees for entering national events, and more, will flow through Ordr’s Connect platform. Ordr will handle all payments for members in seconds and will integrate securely with USA Fencing’s member database, point of sale, and other existing systems for new, intelligent dashboards.

The partnership with Ordr will eventually expand to onsite merchandise sales and other purchases, creating a true one-stop shop for every fencing transaction. Ultimately, through Ordr, USA Fencing and its members will spend less time on administration and more time training, coaching, or cheering.

“Partnering with Ordr is about making life easier for our community — athletes, parents, coaches, volunteers — and even our national office staff,” says Phil Andrews, CEO of USA Fencing. “When paying is effortless and secure, our members can focus on what they love: training hard, competing well and supporting the sport.”

“We’re proud to partner with USA Fencing to bring an intelligent, AI powered payment solution to their national events and passionate members across the nation,” said Ryan Bott, CEO of Ordr. “Existing processors have neglected sports and entertainment, our goal is to simplify operations so athletes, coaches, and fans can focus on what matters most – performance and experience.”

USA Fencing members will receive the following benefits with Ordr:

• Seamless checkout: One modern interface replaces multiple gateways and forms.
• Total flexibility: Pay however you like — phone, watch, card, or keyboard.
• Fewer detours, more fencing: Less time spent on administration means more time training, coaching, or cheering.
• Cleaner data for organizers: Real-time reporting helps staff plan better events and serve members more efficiently.

Ordr joins a premier slate of companies who are part of USA Fencing’s rapidly growing partnership program. Overall, USA Fencing’s seven-figure partnership program now boasts partners in several categories including automotive, banking, beverage, fencing, health and wellness, higher education, hotel hospitality, sports performance, and water, among others.

USA Fencing is the national governing body for the Olympic and Paralympic sport of fencing in the United States. Our mission is to grow and promote the sport of fencing in the United States, honor its rich traditions, and achieve sustained competitive international excellence. In USA Fencing, our athletes are strong and competitive both on the fencing strip and in life — a reminder that fencing provides physical and mental benefits that last a lifetime.
