EPG and SONIO Join Forces to Revolutionise Verification Process for Paylado Users
EPG Financial Services, a German-owned subsidiary of the Merkur Group and a financial payment service provider, has announced the partnership between paylado, its innovative e-wallet app, and SONIO, a leading innovator in identity verification solutions. The goal of this strategic partnership is to enhance and expedite the user verification process for the cutting-edge e-wallet platform, which allows digitises cash money.
One of the standout features of this collaboration is the significant acceleration of the verification process, providing users with a seamless and efficient experience. By simply taking a photo of their ID/passport and completing a quick selfie, users can now undergo the verification process with unprecedented ease. The integration of advanced technology includes this selfie that acts as a liveness check, ensuring authenticity and preventing the use of pre-existing images. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leveraged to read and analyse the provided ID, comparing it with the captured selfie to ensure a secure and accurate verification process.
Users will experience instant confirmation regarding their verification status, with paylado accounts promptly upgraded to fully verified upon successful completion of the process. This streamlined approach not only enhances security measures but also provides a swift and hassle-free onboarding experience for paylado users. The SONIO Orchestration Layer substantially enhances the customer onboarding experience by seamlessly integrating with any chosen service. It consolidates various service offerings available in the market for paylado into a unified Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solution. Furthermore, it guarantees adherence to regulatory standards, ensuring compliance across all interactions.
“We are thrilled to partner with SONIO to redefine the user verification within the paylado application. SONIO’s cutting-edge technology ensures a robust and efficient process, allowing users to enjoy the benefits of a fully verified paylado account in no time,” Daniel Diehl, Director of Product at paylado, said.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in the evolution of digital identity verification, setting new standards for speed, security and user convenience. SONIO and paylado are committed to driving innovation and creating a safer and more accessible digital financial environment for users worldwide.
Dieter Kindl, Chief Business Officer at SONIO, added: “I am delighted to extend our support to paylado by offering our innovative solutions. We are eager to collaborate closely and grow in partnership with them. Furthermore, I would like to highlight our single integration approach, which enables paylado to swiftly adapt to any changes in regulatory requirements or compliance directives, ensuring a seamless KYC process.”
This partnership will not only enhance paylado’s operational efficiency but also significantly contribute to the fintech industry’s efforts to combat financial crime and ensure user safety. By combining paylado’s robust payment processing platform with SONIO’s cutting-edge verification platform, the two companies are well-positioned to lead the industry towards a more secure and compliant future.

Esports Returns to Singapore with BLAST’s Dota 2 Arena Event After Sellout Counter-Strike World Final 2024

BLAST Dota Slam Singapore to take place this November at Singapore Indoor Stadium in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia

The world’s best Dota teams will meet in Singapore from 4th – 9th November 2025 to compete for a prize pool of $1,000,000 at the first ever BLAST Slam arena event
Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced the return of its world-class events to Singapore with the BLAST Dota Slam Singapore, set to take place in November 2025 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
This announcement follows the sellout success of the BLAST Premier World Final 2024, which marked BLAST’s Southeast Asia debut and saw more than ten-thousand fans pack out the Resorts World Convention Centre to witness the world’s top Counter-Strike teams compete for the $1 million prize pool.
Building on that momentum, Singapore will now host the BLAST Dota Slam arena event, teaming up with AEG Presents Asia again to bring together the world’s best Dota teams to battle it out for $1,000,000 in front of a live audience and millions of fans tuning in globally across 50+ territories and in 12 languages.
The BLAST Dota Slam Singapore is the latest milestone in BLAST’s global expansion into Dota 2, and reinforces Singapore’s growing reputation as a premier destination for sports and live entertainment. It marks the second consecutive year the city-state has hosted a BLAST arena tournament, following the successful Counter-Strike event in 2024.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “Singapore delivered one of the most passionate esports crowds we’ve ever seen during last year’s BLAST Premier World Final. We’re thrilled to be returning with our next major arena show – this time for Dota 2 – and to once again partner with the Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia to help to further grow Southeast Asia’s esports ecosystem. The response to our events in Singapore has been incredible, and this November’s Dota Slam promises to be another landmark moment for fans and for the region. Singapore has an impressive history and pedigree for the biggest international sporting events, supported by STB, and BLAST is proud to be building on this with the biggest esports events.”
Ms Lilian Chee, Director, Sports, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are delighted to welcome BLAST back to Singapore, this time with the Dota Slam. Building on the success of the BLAST Premier World Final, this event further reinforces Singapore’s reputation as a world-class destination for sports and live entertainment. We look forward to welcoming the passionate fans, players and partners once again to our vibrant city.”
BLAST’s return to Singapore is set to shine a global spotlight on the city while delivering significant economic benefits and meaningful destination marketing. With an estimated economic impact in the tens of millions, the tournament further demonstrates how esports events are evolving into major cultural and economic drivers for host cities – on par with large-scale traditional international sporting events.
With Singapore, Rio, London, Austin, and Lyon among the major destinations on BLAST’s global calendar this year, it is evident that governments, cities and tourism bodies are recognising the power of esports to attract young and engaged visitors, create jobs, and drive international visibility.
