With TrueLayer’s Pay by Bank, bet365 customers can now:

By placing Pay by Bank front and centre, bet365 is signalling the future of iGaming payments: instant, low-friction, and secure. The new checkout experience gives players more confidence and control, while helping bet365 reduce fraud and operational overheads linked to card-based payments.

Francesco Simoneschi, CEO and Co-Founder of TrueLayer, said:

That sends a powerful message to the market about where payments are heading. bet365 has always been at the cutting edge of technology, and we’re proud to help them lead the way once again.”
