FinXP Collaborates with Mastercard to Launch Cross-Border Payment Solutions
FinXP, a European payments and banking solutions provider, announced strategic collaboration with Mastercard to introduce an innovative cross-border payment solution, named FinXP PLUS. By leveraging Mastercard’s Cross-Border Services, FinXP will be tapping into the extensive Mastercard network, thereby providing its global customer base with unparalleled access to a new range of payment possibilities.
FinXP PLUS is set to modernize corporate cross-border payments by providing a proprietary platform that facilitates secure transactions to over 100 countries, supporting multiple currencies, including USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, CHF, TRY, PLN, SEK, DKK, NOK, PHP, COP and more. One of the standout features of the service is its support for multi-channel transfers, empowering merchants to make payouts to bank accounts, cards, e-wallets, as well as cash-out locations. This versatility ensures that clients have the flexibility required to adapt to different payment preferences around the world.
The new service integrates with FinXP’s best-in-class Euro IBAN service called IBAN4U, which provides dedicated corporate accounts complemented with Mastercard debit cards. Therefore, FinXP PLUS users will benefit from a comprehensive account solution enabling them to receive payments, make payouts, as well as use their funds via a physical debit card.
Through this partnership, FinXP will extend access to Mastercard’s network to its diverse clientele, which includes e-commerce enterprises, professional services firms, as well as reputable merchants hailing from specialised sectors such as blockchain, fintech, iGaming and nutraceuticals.
“Our latest collaboration with Mastercard reinforces our commitment to offer merchants with a seamless payment experience, that means the ability to make fast and reliable payments at a cost-efficient price with an easy-to-use platform. We are very excited about launching the new service especially since it offers so many payout capabilities in just a single solution. Of course this would not have been possible without partnering with a payments leader like Mastercard,” Jens Podewski, co-founder and CEO of FinXP, said.
Chris Denny, COO at FinXP, said: “Through this new service we are able to present a much stronger value proposition not just to our current clients but also in new markets that we are entering such as international remittance, travel and marketplaces.”
Dr. Peter Robejsek, country manager at Mastercard, said: “In the current climate, having fast, reliable access to funds at a reasonable cost has never been more crucial. Our partnership with FinXP will provide its customers with a safe, simple and reliable cross-border payments experience, regardless of whether they want to send money to a bank account, card, digital wallet or cash withdrawal location.”
Mastercard’s suite of remittance-related products enables payments using Mastercard’s global network to be delivered to bank accounts, digital and mobile wallets, card and cash across more than 180 countries and 150 currencies. In total, these services provide senders with access to more than 90% of the world’s banked population and in near real-time to more than 50 markets.

DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.
The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.
DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.
The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.
Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.
“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”
Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”

Since Century Casinos’ acquisition of the Missouri properties in 2019, Mr. Randolph has served as Vice President of Operations for both Missouri casino properties.
