This enables operators to manage and deliver payouts across AptPay-supported payment methods while simplifying the connectivity, routing, reconciliation and operational complexity associated with managing multiple payment integrations. Through its new Visa Direct integration, AptPay also enables access to eligible cards, account endpoints and participating digital wallets.The integration helps strengthen AptPay’s broader strategy of providing a unified infrastructure layer that supports facilitating money movement across iGaming and other digital-first industries.Use cases are for illustrative purposes only.
