Fintech innovator brings AI-driven payments and identity platform with near-100% ACH acceptance to operators in regulated US markets
Yaspa, the hyper-growth fintech specialising in iGaming payments and identity solutions, will unveil its Intelligent Payments platform at G2E Las Vegas (October 7–9, Venetian Expo) as it accelerates its US expansion.
Yaspa’s Intelligent Payments platform combines real-time open banking technology with AI-powered insights, equipping operators with unprecedented visibility into player behaviour to drive lifetime value while meeting safer gaming obligations.
The company’s US entry is being spearheaded by Guaranteed ACH, a breakthrough solution tackling one of the industry’s biggest pain points: failed payments. By connecting directly with the ACH network — which processed more than 40 billion transactions in 2024 — Yaspa can deliver near-100% deposit acceptance for operators.
For players, the process is seamless: after a one-time account link, deposits can be made instantly with a single confirmation. Real-time account checks and risk analysis ensure funds availability, preventing fraud and failed transactions.
Beyond payments, Yaspa’s platform leverages AI-driven intelligence to help operators make smarter player management decisions. By analysing financial data at the point of deposit, operators can:
- Assess affordability and detect fraud,
- Flag early markers of gambling harm,
- Gain insights into player LTV.
This dual focus on conversion and protection helps operators strengthen trust while maintaining frictionless user journeys.
Yaspa’s rapid global growth has been underpinned by a $12m investment led by Discerning Capital, announced last month. Headquartered in London, the company has incorporated a US entity in Atlanta and scaled to 70 employees in just 18 months. Yaspa is led by CEO and co-founder James Neville, formerly CTO at Worldpay.
“Payments are the foundation of the player experience — when they don’t work, operators lose customers. With Guaranteed ACH, we’re able to give US operators near-100% deposit acceptance, which is a game-changer for the market,” said Max Collinge, VP of Product at Yaspa.
“What excites me most is how our Intelligent Payments platform goes further, using real-time financial data to help operators understand and support their players in ways that simply weren’t possible before. It’s about improving conversion and loyalty while also strengthening protection — proving that payments can be both seamless and responsible.”
Collinge will also speak on the G2E panel “Blending AI and Payments to Transform Player Protection” alongside Dr. Kasra Ghaharian (UNLV International Gaming Institute), Simo Dragicevic (Founder, BetBuddy), and Daniel Umfleet (Founder, Kindbridge).
