The team at OKTO is running for “Payment Solution of the Year” and “Payments Innovation of the
Year” awards

OKTO, the financial technology provider specialising in digital payment and player engagement applications has been announced as a finalist in the 2020 SBC Awards in two categories: “Payment Solution of the Year” and “Payments Innovation of the Year”.

The annual awards are among the sports betting and gaming industry’s top accolades, rewarding and
celebrating the very best that operators and suppliers have to offer.

OKTO’s shortlisted mobile-first payment solutions are focused on harnessing the digital revolution,
streamlining betting processes to provide a seamless journey across multiple users’ channels.

“Payments Innovation of the Year” nomination reflects the fintech provider’s OKTO.WALLET boost and
growth. OKTO’s innovative, end-to-end cashless payment solution comes to revolutionise the gaming
landscape, covering operators’ demands with end-to-end digital transactions. In line with the new normal, OKTO.WALLET is designed to bring user experience to a whole new level through a universal, open-loop payment app, enabling instant deposits and withdrawals through digital payments in a fast, safe, and socially responsible way, while incorporating the major level of responsible gaming.

Alongside, the 2nd nomination is fully in line with the company’s vision to offer users a seamless digital payment experience in the real world. OKTO.CASH is uniquely designed to deliver a flexible experience that provides both convenience and ease of use while also takes players on a digital journey, offering a
customer experience that is entirely seamless throughout the deposit process with funds accessible in
real-time.

Simon Dorsen, Director of Gaming at OKTO, said: “In such a trying time for businesses all over the world, celebrating successes can really help bring us together. We’re so proud of our team and our mobile-first payment solutions”

“Like many other businesses, 2020 has seen the OKTO team quickly adapt to a largely remote working
environment — but it hasn’t stopped us on our continued journey towards global success. Not only have
we been recognised as finalists, but our team has continued to improve the overall user-experience and
functionalities of our products this year. Plus, within this period we’ve managed to successfully onboard an impressive roster of new clients, and consistently grow our workforce. “

The winners will be announced at a virtual ceremony on December the 9th, with 800 virtual guests attending the event.
