Kea Introduces Full-Stack Payment Solutions at ICE 2026

Kea is set to unveil a comprehensive payment solutions ecosystem during ICE 2026 in Barcelona, taking place from January 19-21. Designed specifically for the iGaming industry, this innovative platform integrates both cryptocurrency and traditional fiat payments, allowing businesses a more streamlined financial experience.

Addressing Industry Frictions

The iGaming sector often faces challenges such as slow transaction settlements, high fees, and complex compliance hurdles. Acknowledging these pain points, Kea aims to centralize the management of crypto acceptance, treasury operations, and global partner payouts on a single platform. This unified approach not only simplifies operations but also enhances the control held by finance and compliance teams through policy-based controls and audit-ready documentation.

Cutting-Edge Features of Kea’s Platform

Kea's platform boasts a variety of cutting-edge features that enhance user experience:

• - Stablecoin Processing: Users can send, convert, or settle payments directly through IBAN.
• - IBAN Accounts: The platform supports banking facilities in both EUR and USD, along with SEPA and SWIFT capabilities.
• - Global Payouts: iGaming businesses can make payouts in over 80 currencies, covering suppliers, affiliates, and contractors globally.
• - Treasury Tools: Users benefit from visibility and control across various fiat and digital assets.

Additionally, Kea recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of USDG stablecoin, offering clients attractive rewards of up to 3.5% APY. This new functionality aligns with the company’s vision of providing a seamless transformation into the future of finance.

Supporting Underbanked Markets

One of Kea's primary missions is to serve underbanked markets effectively. Their infrastructure streamlines access to services like crypto, stablecoins, and traditional banking—all under one Know Your Business (KYB) onboarding process. This approach, combined with their proprietary core banking system launched in early 2024 and a Payment Intelligence Layer, allows rapid integration with global providers.

Kea’s CEO, Mark Berkovich, states, “Our goal at Kea is to engineer solutions tailored to the realities of iGaming. We focus on delivering payment solutions that prioritize speed and settlement certainty while ensuring compliance with regulatory demands.”

Real-World Impact of Crypto Processing

Kea's innovative focus on payment solutions is already yielding substantial benefits for its clients:

• - Revenue Growth: Crypto-oriented businesses report a 20-30% growth in revenue after adopting Kea's crypto rails.
• - Cost Savings: High-volume transactions can save clients up to 80% in commission fees.
• - Seamless Crypto-to-Fiat Transactions: This allows for efficient off-ramping directly into corporate accounts.
• - Unified Onboarding: One KYB process for both crypto and traditional banking eliminates repeated verification hassles.

By providing integrated stablecoins, Kea enables quick, cross-border transactions with minimal volatility, thereby removing friction for its users and empowering their growth in an increasingly complex marketplace.
