Yaspa’s open-banking payments platform earns AI and safer-gambling recognition
June’s EGR B2B Awards recognised Yaspa’s work linking financial data and gaming behaviour. The supplier combines Pay by Bank transactions with consent-based account insights for operators.
Yaspa’s Intelligent Payments platform received two honours at the EGR B2B Awards held in London on 3 June: AI solutions supplier and safer gambling software supplier. The organiser’s winners list recognises work connecting customers’ financial circumstances with gaming behaviour, placing the payments company’s data capabilities at the centre of its award entries.

EGR’s judges cited the use of AI to link financial well-being and gaming behaviour in the first category. In the safer-gambling category, their comments focused on financial vulnerability and open banking’s ability to identify indicators of risk. These are the judging panel’s assessments of the submissions, rather than a published comparison of every supplier’s operating performance. [1]
Payments and account information in one offering
Yaspa’s developer documentation describes instant bank payments, account verification and customer insights as separate modules that can also be combined. A business embeds the payment journey in its website, app or terminal; customers then authorise a direct account-to-account transfer through their banking app. The company calls that service Pay by Bank. [2]
Its account-verification flow can check bank details without taking a payment. Yaspa says businesses can use those verified details for closed-loop payments. Alongside transaction processing, the company may request a customer’s permission to access bank transactions and derive information about financial health and risk for the business receiving the insights.

Consent and the operator’s response
The documentation makes customer consent a condition of access to transaction information. Yaspa describes the resulting insights as a way for a business to respond to an individual’s circumstances, including through trading limits. Making a bank payment and granting access to account information are therefore distinct permissions within the broader service. [2]
On its Intelligent Payments product page, Yaspa advertises analysis of live bank data, fraud indicators and reporting dashboards that group risks by severity. It presents those capabilities alongside real-time deposits and withdrawals. These descriptions explain the supplier’s offer; they do not establish a measured reduction in harm or a guaranteed commercial return for an operator. [3]
For businesses assessing the product, the June recognition concerns both its analysis of customer circumstances and its use in safer-gambling operations. EGR’s comments support that specific award outcome, while Yaspa’s documentation explains the payment and consent journeys behind the service. Operator decisions about customer limits remain separate from the processing of a transaction. [1] [2]
