Unlocking Payment Solutions for iGaming: Kea’s Innovative Approach

One infrastructure for stablecoins, IBAN accounts, and global payouts built for iGaming companies.

NICOSIA, Cyprus, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From January 19-21, Kea will be exhibiting at ICE 2026 in Barcelona, an event that promises to be a game-changer for the iGaming industry. Here, Kea will showcase its groundbreaking full-stack payment solutions ecosystem that allows iGaming businesses to operate seamlessly with both cryptocurrency and fiat currencies. In an industry often plagued by slow settlements, costly fees, and a maze of compliance hurdles, Kea offers an all-in-one platform that addresses these pain points head-on.

A Unified Payments Ecosystem

Kea’s innovative payment infrastructure allows teams to accept, hold, and manage stablecoins while easily settling on IBAN accounts. This is particularly valuable for global payouts, offering iGaming companies the ability to pay partners locally and internationally from a single point. By centralizing crypto acceptance, treasury services, off-ramping to fiat, and global payouts, Kea ensures that businesses can operate with enhanced efficiency and reduced friction. This comprehensive solution empowers finance and compliance teams to maintain control through policy-based guidelines and audit-ready statements.

Key Features Set to Transform iGaming Payments

Kea is set to introduce various standout features during its presentation at ICE 2026:

• Stablecoin Processing: Businesses can now send payments, convert currencies, or settle directly to IBAN accounts with ease.
• Banking Railings: Access to IBAN accounts in EUR and USD is complemented by connections to SEPA and SWIFT, enabling swift and secure transactions.
• Global Payouts: With the ability to transact in over 80 currencies, Kea simplifies payments to suppliers, affiliates, and contractors.
• Treasury Management Tools: Enhanced visibility and control across both fiat and digital assets is a cornerstone of Kea’s offerings, ensuring seamless financial management.
• Rewards with USDG: Kea’s new stablecoin, USDG, features built-in reward functionalities, offering clients attractive yields up to 3.5% APY.

Empathy Over Bureaucracy

One of the most compelling aspects of Kea’s approach is its focus on user experience, particularly for underbanked markets. Traditional banking systems often stymie businesses with bureaucratic processes. Kea’s solution aims to rectify this by merging cutting-edge technology with empathetic communication and hands-on support.

Kea combines the best of both worlds: advanced tech stacks that include a proprietary Core Banking System, launched in early 2024, complemented by a Payment Intelligence Layer that allows rapid integrations with global providers. The result is a fluid and adaptive banking experience — one that understands the market realities faced by iGaming operators.

Enhancing Client Success Through Crypto

For businesses that are keen on integrating cryptocurrency into their operations, Kea’s solutions present several compelling advantages:

• Revenue Growth: Clients integrating cryptocurrency payment rails have reported revenue increases of 20% to 30%.
• Cost Savings: High-volume transactional businesses can save over 80% on commission fees.
• Seamless Off-Ramping: Converting cryptocurrencies into fiat directly into corporate accounts simplifies financial management.
• Streamlined Onboarding: Kea’s unified approach means one KYB onboarding process for both crypto and traditional banking, eliminating redundancy.
• Stablecoins for Instant Settlements: Businesses can leverage stablecoins for cross-border transactions, benefiting from speed and near-zero volatility.

Kea’s commitment to eradicating payment friction allows businesses to thrive even amidst complex regulatory and financial landscapes.
