The deal followed a successful show of Flexia at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), where the company showcased its innovative cashless system, seamlessly integrated with an expanding suite of partners including WinSystems, Axes Information Management Systems and CasinoTrac.
With the completion of this acquisition, the Flexia team joins forces with OKTO, to jointly keep driving cashless and omnichannel payment solutions to North American casinos and gaming venues, enabling them to usher full digitalization of customer experience across gaming and non-gaming activities.
In addition, Flexia is well positioned to combine casino and online wagering accounts, the casino loyalty programs, all connected to a Flexia Prepaid Mastercard® – into a single digital payment solution.
"This acquisition aims to place OKTO at the forefront of digital payment services provision in the North American land-based and online gaming markets via its omnichannel offering," commented Theo Engelis, VP North America of OKTO. "We're excited about this partnership, which marks a significant enhancement for both companies, and aligns with our ongoing cashless strategy in Europe and Latin America."
