THE MISSION
OKTO, a Scale Up Cohort 1 member, simplifies payments for the entertainment, leisure, and gaming industries by allowing people to pay directly through their mobile phones, without needing cash or credit cards. Instead of dealing with physical money or card swipes, customers can make instant payments using their phones, making transactions quicker and more convenient for both businesses and users.
For example, if users are at a gaming arcade or a leisure park, instead of pulling out cash or waiting for card payments, they can use OKTO's app to pay instantly. The platform is highly reliable, with nearly 100% uptime, meaning payments happen smoothly without interruptions. OKTO also customizes its payment system to fit different types of businesses, ensuring the best experience for both customers and companies across multiple countries.
OKTO has partnered with Microgame to streamline payments across Italy's PVR market. Through the integration of OKTO.WALLET, Microgame’s operator partners can now offer users a compliant, efficient, and secure payment solution aligned with the latest Italian PVR decree. With $5 million in recent funding, OKTO is growing and expanding into new markets.
