The PZU Group, which is the largest financial institution in Central and Eastern Europe, tied down Świątek in early 2021.

In August 2023, Świątek became the first tennis player to sign a sponsorship deal with global payments platform Visa, becoming one of its global ambassadors.
As a Visa global ambassador, Świątek collaborates with other sportspersons that have signed up with the American company ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics Games.

Świątek uses the Tecnifibre T-Rebound Tempo racquet, which is specially designed for female tennis players.
Previous Deals
Asics
Świątek ended the 2020 season on a high. With her surprising French Open title win and her sponsorship deal up for renewal by the end of the year, Świątek was awarded an upgraded deal with Asics.
Świątek’s association with Asics began at the start of 2020 on a one-year deal, with performance-related bonuses included in the contract. However, after a three-year run, Świątek joined the Swiss company ON Running in March 2023.
Nike
American clothing and sportswear giant Nike did a serious culling of the herd at the end of the 2019 season, and the players affected were mostly from the women’s game. Ajla Tomljanović, Maria Sakkari, Iga Świątek, Borna Ćorić and Eugenie Bouchard were some of the players that were let go from Nike’s roster.
Sakkari and Świątek later joined Japanese equipment manufacturer Asics at the start of 2020.
Rolex
Swiss luxury watchmaker Rolex signed up Świątek as a brand ambassador in February 2021.
As a child, Świątek watched Roger Federer lift major trophies, and his Rolex watches remained engraved in her memory as an integral part of those historic moments.
“I am thrilled to join the Rolex family. This partnership is really inspiring for me and makes me realise how far my journey went – from being a kid and watching on TV how Roger holds the trophy with his timepiece on a wrist to having my own (timepiece, not the trophy[yet?]),” wrote Iga Świątek when she was unveiled as a Rolex ambassador.
Red Bull
Świątek was the first female ambassador from the tennis roster of Austrian energy drink maker and distributor Red Bull.
Before roping in Świątek, Red Bull had tied up Austria’s Dominic Thiem, Italy’s Matteo Berrettini and the USA’s Reilly Opelka as global brand ambassadors.
Xiaomi
Chinese techno giant Xiaomi roped in Świątek as a brand ambassador at the start of 2021.
When unveiled as a Xiaomi ambassador, Świątek said: “You know that tennis is my passion and I want to show you how sport can develop and change your life. I want to share with Xiaomi fans what I do, how I prepare and how I pay. Maybe I will instil a passion for this wonderful sport in you.”
Lexus
A luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota, Lexus and Świątek’s association goes back to 2018, when she was still playing at the junior level.
Świątek’s success in the 2018 French Open girls’ doubles and the subsequent Wimbledon girls’ singles title attracted attention from many a corporate giant, including Lexus, which tied her down to a deal following her rise.
