Yaspa's AI-powered payments win top honor at SBC Awards Europe 2026

Yaspa has won Best Payment Solution at the SBC Awards Europe 2026. The award highlights the company’s growing impact on regulated betting and gaming markets. Its Intelligent Payments system blends real-time transactions with AI-driven risk checks in seconds. The SBC Awards Europe celebrate top suppliers, operators, and innovators in the betting and gaming sector. Yaspa’s victory reflects its rapid expansion and influence across regulated industries.

Yaspa’s Intelligent Payments platform allows operators to evaluate affordability, AML risks, and financial vulnerability in under 10 seconds. This happens before funds are even processed. The system merges Pay by Bank transactions with AI-powered customer insights and verification. Unlike traditional ‘stop-and-check’ methods, Yaspa uses a single, consent-based journey. Independent research with the Behavioural Insights Team supports its risk intelligence model. User testing showed a 74% conversion rate for Yaspa’s approach, compared to around 15% for standard document-based KYC flows. CEO James Neville welcomed the award, noting a shift in how the industry views payment solutions. The win reinforces Yaspa’s position as a key player in modernising financial checks for gaming operators.

The SBC Award confirms Yaspa’s role in transforming payment and verification processes. Its AI-driven system speeds up transactions while improving security and compliance. Operators now have a faster, more efficient way to assess risk before funds are used.
