PAYSTRAX offers reliable card acquiring for complex businesses
Founded in 2018, PAYSTRAX is a European payment services provider with Payment Institution licences in Lithuania and the United Kingdom, offering regulatory coverage across the UK, EU and EEA. The company supports more than 1,500 merchants and operates from six international offices across the United Kingdom, Iceland, Lithuania and Malta, with teams experienced in working with regulated, high-risk verticals such as iGaming.
In 2025 Q3, PAYSTRAX acquired Nochex, one of the UK’s earliest online payment providers, established in 1999 and serving a broad base of UK merchants. The acquisition strengthens PAYSTRAX’s UK footprint, adds local payment expertise and expands its ability to support merchants across regulated and complex sectors.
As a direct acquirer and principal member of Visa and Mastercard, PAYSTRAX provides card payment infrastructure for online businesses that need stability, compliance and scale. Its focus is on supporting merchants operating in environments where regulatory oversight, fraud exposure and high transaction volumes require special payment setups rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
In iGaming, payments are one of the core functions as they directly affect the player experience. From the first deposit to in-game transactions, withdrawals and refunds, every payment touchpoint needs to work smoothly and reliably. PAYSTRAX works closely with gaming businesses to design acquiring structures aligned with their business needs, licensing requirements and global reach.
Alongside card acquiring, PAYSTRAX supports global payment acceptance across all ISO currencies, with settlement available in 17 of the most popular ones. The company also enables settlement through stablecoins, helping reduce costs and settlement delays, and provides advanced fraud prevention and risk management tools. Its infrastructure is built to maintain performance during traffic spikes and peak gaming activity, delivering 99.999% uptime and supporting uninterrupted payment processing at scale.
Beyond payment acceptance, PAYSTRAX also supports card payouts via Visa Original Credit Transfer (OCT) and Mastercard Send. These payout methods allow operators to send funds directly to players’ cards, supporting faster withdrawals, refunds and promotional payouts while operating within card scheme and regulatory frameworks. For iGaming businesses, faster and more predictable payouts help reduce friction at the withdrawal stage and strengthen player trust.
As a first-time exhibitor at ICE, PAYSTRAX looks forward to meeting existing partners and connecting with new ones at Booth 4J40, where the team will be available to discuss tailored payment solutions for complex businesses. Visitors to PAYSTRAX stand are also invited to take part in a scratch card lottery, offering attendees a chance to win prizes while starting a conversation.
