European players increasingly pay straight from their bank — open banking and instant transfers are cheaper, harder to charge back, and trusted. For iGaming brands in the EU and UK, account-to-account rails are a core part of the stack.
Open banking and instant bank transfers settle directly from a player's account, which means lower fees than cards and far fewer chargebacks — a major advantage in iGaming. Each market has its favourites: iDEAL in the Netherlands, SOFORT and open banking in Germany and Austria, Multibanco and MB WAY in Portugal, Faster Payments in the UK. Solution Ocean lists anonymized providers covering these rails.
SEPA and SEPA Instant give you pan-European reach, while local schemes maximise conversion in specific countries. The catalog tags each offer by country, method and direction, so you can compare a pan-EU provider against country-specialists and pick the right blend.
Because the player authorises the payment in their own banking app, fraud and chargeback exposure drops sharply. Pair open banking with card acquiring for players who still prefer cards — we can help you structure a compliant, high-approval European stack.
Availability varies by provider and is confirmed during onboarding. Provider identities stay anonymized until we engage on your behalf.
