Volt
Volt was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in London, UK, where it is FCA authorised for payment initiation and account information services. Unusually for an open-banking provider it reaches beyond Europe into Latin America and APAC.
Its positioning is a real-time account-to-account initiation network with payouts, distributed both directly and through partners including Worldpay and Shopify. Gambling acceptance is assessed per contract, and our source confidence is medium.
For operators
For gambling operators that Volt accepts, the offer is open-banking deposits and bank transfer payouts in real time across several regions from one integration, which can simplify bank-payment coverage for multi-market brands. Because gambling is reviewed per contract and Volt is also distributed through Worldpay, some operators may reach it via their acquirer rather than directly.
Integration
Volt publishes a REST API, a hosted checkout, Volt Connect and payouts. Pricing is on request.
