OKTO Enters into Partnership with SelfPay in Romania
OKTO, a Greece-based fintech solutions provider, has signed a partnership deal with SelfPay, a leading operator of a network of payment stations in Romania, to expand the company’s OKTO.CASH footprint in the country.
OKTO.CASH is a hybrid mobile-first payment solution, which allows the users to pay and receive money using the mobile app platform through local point of sale stores. It is one of the merchants in many online gaming platforms. The new partnership will offer the registered gaming players in Romania a hassle-free option to top up and redeem their gaming accounts.
OKTO.CASH service will now be available on about 6,000 payment stations of the SelfPay network across Romania. Liviu Popovici, Romania Country Representative at OKTO, commented: “People expect to be gratified instantly in today’s digital and mobile-first world, and this is exactly what we do with OKTO.CASH. We allow users to top-up their online accounts safely, securely and in real-time by paying to a partnering POS network. And as this partnering POS network is continuously expanding in key locations across the region, then will instantly spawn success.
We are proud to bring to the market our new seamless payment product and our partnership with SelfPay will enable us to provide the online operators with an agile, flexible and ready to go solution”
Dragos Dila, Director of Business Development at SelfPay added: “In the current pandemic times when most licensed gaming organisers are facing difficulties caused mainly by the restrictions enforced by the Romanian authorities, the partnership between SelfPay and OKTO, comes with a solution. Through our nation-wide network of almost 6.000 SelfPay payment stations, players all around the country can safely top up their online accounts with cash.”
OKTO.CASH offers users with a fast method to send money online, as it does not require signing up to a third party service. Users just need to select OKTO.CASH in the merchant’s app or site and pick nearest convenient SelfPay location to send money to their account securely in real-time.
The new fintech solution has been launched under the Betano brand and is currently branded as Betano.Cash.
