SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global fintech company WireBarley has announced a multi-year strategic partnership with Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), becoming the club's Official Remittance Partner and the first Korean fintech company to partner with a Major League Soccer team.
The collaboration unites two brands built on global connectivity, trust, and community. As one of Major League Soccer's most internationally recognized clubs, LAFC embodies the diverse, global culture of Los Angeles—an identity that closely aligns with WireBarley's mission to make cross-border money transfers more accessible, transparent, and reliable for people around the world.
WireBarley specializes in connecting customers across Asia-Pacific markets—including Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong SAR, and Vietnam—with North America. Now through its LAFC partnership, the company aims to build stronger connections with Asian American communities in the U.S. while gaining visibility among the team's globally connected fans.
As part of the partnership, WireBarley will receive marketing rights within Los Angeles and designated international territories, along with digital and social integrations designed to engage fans through compelling content, sweepstakes, and matchday experiences. The collaboration will emphasize shared values of innovation, inclusivity, and global perspective—core pillars for both organizations.
"We are extremely excited to partner with WireBarley given their focus on connecting people from various countries and spanning different cultures," said LAFC Co-President Larry Freedman. "Playing in Los Angeles, a city that serves as one of the most globally connected cities in the world, this was a natural fit as we seek to reflect the identity of our fanbase."
The partnership further strengthens LAFC's growing portfolio of international and technology-driven partners, reinforcing the club's position at the intersection of sport, culture, and global community.
"We are honored to partner with LAFC, a club renowned for its excellence and dedication to fans," John Joongwon Yoo, CEO and Co-founder of WireBarley. "This partnership extends beyond the pitch to connect communities and create meaningful experiences. It will bring fans in Los Angeles and our global customers in countries including Korea, Australia, and beyond closer to LAFC through engaging matchday and interactive online experiences that celebrate the club's spirit and passion."
WireBarley provides international remittance services across 46 countries, with operations in seven key markets: Korea, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong SAR (temporarily suspended). The company has recorded over 2.2 million app downloads and 1.1 million registered users worldwide, establishing itself as a leading digital remittance platform in the Asia-Pacific region.

SEATTLE, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As modern homes continue to evolve, consumers are increasingly looking for appliances that strike the right balance between performance, design, and practicality. Tineco, a global leader in intelligent floor care solutions, brings this philosophy to life through a refined product portfolio designed to support modern living with smarter, more balanced cleaning experiences.
By combining advanced technology with user-centric design, Tineco's latest range addresses a broad spectrum of household needs — from effective wet-dry floor care to effortless cordless vacuuming — all while remaining intuitive and accessible for everyday use.
Designed for effortless cleaning in hard-to-reach spaces
For homes where dust and debris tend to accumulate under furniture and along edges, FLOOR ONE Stretch S6 makes thorough floor cleaning simpler and more efficient. Its 180° lay-flat design slides seamlessly beneath beds, sofas, and low cabinetry, helping remove dust and allergens from areas that are often overlooked during routine cleaning.
Triple-sided edge cleaning reaches as close as 0.2 inches from skirting boards, while up to 40 minutes of runtime supports uninterrupted cleaning across rooms. Powered by iLoop™ Technology, the Stretch S6 automatically adjusts performance based on the mess detected, allowing users to focus on their space rather than the settings. After cleaning, the FlashDry™ Self-Cleaning System rinses and dries the entire unit, keeping it fresh and ready for the next use.
→ Available via Amazon from January 27 to February 1, with a promotional price of AUD $429 and savings of 52%.
Designed for flexible, whole-home cleaning without compromise
For households seeking one tool that adapts easily to different cleaning tasks, FLOOR ONE Switch S7 Stretch delivers true multi-function versatility. Designed as a 5-in-1 solution, it transitions effortlessly between floor washing and vacuuming, handling wet and dry messes, hard floors, furniture surfaces, and hard-to-reach crevices throughout the house.
At the core of this flexibility is SwitchPro Motor, which enables smooth switching between modes without interrupting cleaning. DualBlock Anti-Tangle and ZeroTangle brush designs work together to prevent hair and pet fur from wrapping around the brush, ensuring consistent performance with minimal maintenance. After use, the upgraded FlashDry™ Self-Cleaning System uses 85°C heated water and hot air to thoroughly clean and dry internal components, delivering a more hygienic and hassle-free ownership experience.
→ Available via Amazon from January 27 to February 1, with a promotional price of AUD $849 and savings of 29%.
Designed for everyday performance with an artistic touch
For households that value both performance and design, FLOOR ONE S9 Artist brings together full-featured floor care and an elegant, artist-inspired aesthetic. Built for high-efficiency everyday use, it delivers smooth steering, effortless manoeuvrability, and edge-to-edge reach, allowing users to move easily from room to room.
SmoothDrive™ Technology supports responsive handling, while a low-profile, 180° lay-flat design provides access beneath furniture. A dynamic display with shifting 3D lighting, combined with an LED headlight, offers clear, real-time guidance throughout the cleaning process. With up to 75 minutes of runtime, the S9 Artist is designed for uninterrupted cleaning sessions that feel intuitive and refined.
→ Available via Amazon from January 27 to February 1, with a promotional price of AUD $899 and savings of 25%.
For smaller homes or shorter cleaning routines, FLOOR ONE S7 Artist offers a streamlined alternative, delivering up to 50 minutes of runtime and the same design-led experience, just without the SmoothDrive™ system.
→ Available via Amazon from January 27 to February 1, with a promotional price of AUD $679 and savings of 24%.
Designed for low-maintenance, worry-free vacuuming
For busy households that want to minimise hands-on maintenance, PURE ONE Station 5 transforms cordless vacuuming into a cleaner, more automated routine. Its 3-in-1 Smart Station charges, stores, and automatically empties the dustbin, holding up to 45 days of debris without manual contact.
With 175W of suction power, a 120° wide green LED headlight, and a ZeroTangle brush head, the Station 5 captures everything from fine dust to pet hair across floors and elevated surfaces. Up to 70 minutes of runtime supports whole-home cleaning, while a 2-in-1 crevice brush with an extendable tube makes it easier to reach shelves, curtains, ceiling corners, and other high or narrow spaces. The result is a practical, efficient solution that fits seamlessly into everyday living.
→ Available via Amazon from January 27 to February 1, with a promotional price of AUD $559 and savings of 30%.
