You should pitch Pay by Bank to iGaming operators as an account-to-account payment method that can be faster and more cost-effective than cards, while using bank-level authentication. designed to improve player experience and operator margins.
Unlike card payments, Pay by Bank (powered by open banking) offers instant deposits, real-time account verification, and direct-to-bank withdrawals, subject to bank availability and processing. For operators in high-volume, high-margin iGaming, this can help support conversion, reduce exposure to card-scheme chargebacks, and lower processing costs.
Why iGaming operators care
Instant deposits and withdrawals: Players expect real-time movement of funds. Pay by Bank settles instantly, keeping customers engaged.
Lower fees vs cards: No interchange or scheme fees; predictable pricing supports margin protection.
Reduced chargebacks and fraud: Strong customer authentication (SCA) and direct bank rails limit disputes.
Improved onboarding: Account data can verify player identity and affordability in seconds when used alongside appropriate KYC and AML controls.
How PSPs should frame the pitch
Lead with player experience: “Instant in, instant out” can often resonate more than cost savings alone.
Highlight profitability: Show operators how fee savings scale at volume.
Address compliance head-on: Stress SCA and access to bank-verified data that can support AML and affordability processes implemented by the operator or PS.
Differentiate from competitors: Most operators already offer cards and wallets; position Pay by Bank as the next step to stand out.
