Volt Announces Strategic Partnership with EPG Financial Services

Volt, the global real-time payments platform, has announced a new strategic partnership with leading e-money institution and payment services provider EPG Financial Services. Volt will power real-time open banking payments for paylado, EPG’s e-wallet solution.

Built primarily for the German market, paylado allows users to top up their e-wallets manually using two methods: a network of cash deposit devices across Germany, or via bank transfer. Once their balance is updated, users are able to initiate deposits with paylado’s network of licensed, regulating iGaming merchants.

Because manual bank transfers can take up to five days to settle, and are prone to errors, EPG was seeking an open banking partner to provide a replacement in the form of real-time account-to-account payments. Because these are automated, transactions are always pre-populated and ready to approve within a user’s banking app.

Volt was selected owing to the resilience of its bank connectivity in Germany, its optimised top-up user experience, and its ability to initiate payouts from a paylado user’s e-wallet back to their bank account – which iGaming merchants view as essential functionality. Further, its coverage across Europe was seen by EPG as a means by which it can seamlessly reach new users in additional markets.

Rupert Kainzbauer, CEO of EPG Financial Services, said: “We chose Volt because of its multiple connections to bank APIs, in addition to its broad geographic coverage. We have absolute confidence that this will translate into a superior customer experience for paylado users, who can now make top-ups and initiate payouts much faster. We look forward to exploring further use cases with Volt as the transformative power of open banking becomes more apparent.”

Anna Gladka, Volt’s Business Development Director and resident wealthtech expert, said: “We’re thrilled to go live with paylado. From the moment we began speaking with EPG Financial Services, it became clear how closely our product capabilities align with their needs – and, despite only recently going live, we’re already talking about further ways of working together. Above all, the partnership is further evidence of the strength of our network and the onward customer experience that it facilitates.”

N1 Puzzle Promo is a unique campaign on the iGaming market from N1 Partners for partners that runs until the end of 2025. Their slogan – “Why drive when you can fly?”, points to the grand prize. What exactly can you win? Keep reading to find out.

N1 Partners, one of the top affiliate programs with Tier-1 brands, is running the N1 Puzzle Promo. Registered partners run traffic – PPC and ASO, SEO traffic, Facebook, and other channels –  and earn puzzle pieces. The more pieces you collect – the better chance to win the main prize… a HELICOPTER!

Everyone has a shot at victory. Let’s meet Media Buying Agency Gipsy, now in the top-3 of the N1 Puzzle Promo.

Partnership Background

Media Buying Agency Gipsy and the N1 Partners affiliate program have worked together for many years. Over time they have built smooth processes, strong relationships, and solid analytics.

Ariadna, CBDO of Gipsy MBA, says: “It feels like we’ve worked together forever, but we started handling large volumes only last year.”

Formula for Growth

Traffic from Gipsy to N1 Partners’ products grew very hard the past year. This rise comes from high-converting offers in Tier-1 GEOs and attractive CPA terms. Partners also get access to analytics and consulting from the program.

Ariadna, CBDO Gipsy MBA: “We use quality approaches and track analytics regularly. Fast communication with our affiliate manager also helps a lot.”

N1 Puzzle Promo: Experience and Top Products to Scale

Gipsy works with PPC, FB & UAC traffic. All these sources count in the N1 Puzzle Promo:

  • PPC & ASO – 1 puzzle piece for every 40 FTD
  • FB & other* – 1 puzzle piece for every 100 FTD

*Social media, SMS, Email, UAC, In-app

Ariadna, CBDO Gipsy MBA: “We joined the N1 Puzzle Promo in April, almost from the very start. The prizes inspire us, especially the helicopter. We didn’t change our traffic sources—we just scaled up and tested new sources and GEOs. Over time we tried every product; now we focus on N1bet, Jet4bet, Slotlords, Slotmafia, and Retrobet.”

Today Gipsy MBA is in the top 3 by puzzle pieces, and the team is determined: “Seeing the volumes we run to N1 Partners, we hope to stay in the TOP and grab some prizes. We already hold a top-3 spot for puzzle pieces, so we aim to keep growing,” – commented Ariadna, CBDO Gipsy MBA. 

If they win, the Gipsy MBA team plans to fly their Robinson R22 Beta II to Australia to chase seagulls. Where will you fly?
