Paysafe strengthens US iGaming solution with Pay by Bank launch
New product allows American bettors to log-in directly to their bank accounts at online sportsbooksâ cashiers to fund real-time wagers
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a leading payments platform, today launched Pay by Bank for iGaming, a new solution allowing U.S. online bettors to instantly and securely fund deposits at operatorsâ cashiers directly from their online bank account as well as cash-out winnings seamlessly. This product expands the capabilities of Paysafeâs Gateway, the iGaming payments solution that connects U.S. operators to the marketâs most comprehensive range of traditional and alternative payment methods via a single integration.
Building on Paysafeâs 25+ yearsâ history streamlining iGaming payments, the company added Pay by Bank to respond to the growing demand from U.S. players for payment choice. The Gateway already connects operatorsâ cashiers to Paysafe-processed card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the Paysafecash online cash solution, and third-party payment products. Strengthening operatorsâ player acquisition, Pay by Bank provides their customers with yet another payment option that is particularly appealing to the 27% of bettors who prefer transacting via direct bank transfer, according to Paysafe research.
Leveraging Paysafeâs single-integration Gateway, U.S. online gaming operators can now offer Pay by Bank to their customers, giving first-time users the ability to sync their checking or savings account in just seconds, then fund their player account securely in real-time. For returning bettors, the process is even easier, with Pay by Bank supporting one-click payments from linked accounts.
Winnings can be withdrawn from playersâ sportsbook accounts just as seamlessly, with Pay by Bank enabling rapid payouts directly to linked bank accounts, again initiated through a single click.
For operators, all Pay by Bank transactions are indemnified, reducing liability if a playerâs deposit from their bank account defaults. Along with helping to drive player acquisition by providing more payment choice, Pay by Bankâs other benefits for operators include strengthening customer retention by improving the overall payment experience. According to Paysafe research, transactional speed and financial security are playersâ top-two priorities when it comes to the payment experience.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: âWeâre delighted to unveil our new Pay by Bank product for our iGaming solution, which will almost certainly prove very effective in both converting and retaining players for U.S. operators, with the productâs impressive transactional speed and robust security. Through Pay by Bank, we continue to grow the Paysafe Gateway by providing American operators and their customers with unparalleled payment choices, all through a single integration.â
Paysafe will be showcasing Pay by Bank and the Paysafe Gateway while exhibiting (Booth A270) at the SBC Summit North America in New Jersey from May 7th to 9th, 2024.
