Paytently, the specialist payments orchestration platform, has launched Paytently Open Banking powered by Mastercard Open Finance, an account-to-account payment option at checkout that lets customers pay directly from their bank and helps merchants increase conversion rates and improve cash flow.

This comes as Mastercard research[1] shows that more than three-quarters of consumers in leading markets already use open banking, fuelling demand for instant, account-to-account payments at checkout, giving merchants with “Pay by Bank” functionality a competitive edge.

Leveraging Mastercard’s open banking connectivity and Paytently’s orchestration layer, Paytently Open Banking streamlines payments end-to-end, bringing secure bank authentication, payment initiation, and enhanced reconciliation within a single flow for greater operational efficiency. Paytently’s proprietary orchestration engine routes each transaction over the most effective rail for instant payment confirmation and faster settlement.

“This collaboration with Mastercard marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver robust, scalable payment solutions for sectors that demand more from their payments partner,” said Samuel Barrett, Co-Founder and CEO of Paytently. “By combining our orchestration expertise with Mastercard’s open banking technology, we’re enabling merchants to move money faster, reduce operational friction, and ultimately create a more seamless experience for their customers.”

“Our collaboration with Paytently brings the benefits of open banking payments to more merchants who value speed, transparency, and flexibility in their transactions,” said Valerie Nowak, EVP, Head of Open Finance APEMEA at Mastercard. “By combining Mastercard’s secure open finance infrastructure with Paytently’s expertise in complex payment environments, we’re enabling businesses to offer their customers another trusted and seamless way to pay.”

The partnership reflects a strong alignment between Mastercard’s global scale and secure open finance infrastructure, and Paytently’s agility and expertise in orchestrating payments for various sectors. Together, they are bringing an advanced open banking payment solution to market that delivers on speed, reliability, and customer experience.

Paytently and Mastercard will be presenting the solution together at SBC Summit in Lisbon, September 16–18, 2025, where Paytently is a Platinum Headline Sponsor.

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets

ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.

The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.

Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.

By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.

Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.

ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.

Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
