Operators use payment initiation (PIS) for instant bank-to-bank deposits and fast withdrawals, avoiding card declines and high fees, and use account information (AIS) for affordability and source-of-funds checks required by gambling regulators. This improves deposit conversion and payout speed while supporting safer-gambling and AML obligations.
Prioritise a PIS-capable aggregator that also offers verification and covers the banks in your licensed markets. TrueLayer, Tink, Yapily, and Volt support payment initiation across the UK/EU, with verification available for affordability/KYC. Confirm gambling-sector support, payout speed, and bank coverage in your jurisdictions before committing.
