The following announcement was issued as a press release and shared here in its original format.

London, UK – 5th June, 2026 – Yaspa, a leading fintech specialising in payments and identity solutions, has won two awards at the EGR B2B Awards 2026, hosted on 3rd June.

The company walked away with both the AI Solutions Provider and Safer Gambling Supplier awards. The EGR B2B Awards – this year held at the HAC In London – recognise suppliers operating across the iGaming industry. 

Awarding Yaspa the AI Solutions Provider trophy, the judges commented: “Yaspa has demonstrated a highly credible, research-backed, and socially responsible innovation that uses AI to address one of the industry’s toughest challenges: linking financial well-being with gaming behaviour. Yaspa’s Intelligent Payments platform combines technical depth, regulatory alignment, and real-world performance metrics, making it a standout entrant for categories focused on AI innovation, data analytics, or responsible gambling enablement.”

Yaspa collected another prize for Safer Gambling Supplier, when the judges commented: “Yaspa has delivered a strong and innovative submission focused on financial vulnerability and demonstrating a great take on open-banking’s ability to link to at-risk indicators. Intelligent Payments is well aligned to current affordability challenges and provides useful research validation.”

In the last 12 months, Yaspa was also named winner of the Payment Solution of the Year at SBC Awards Europe and Best Payments Solutions Provider at the European iGaming Awards. This is in addition to winning the Real-Time Payments Innovation award at the 2025 Payments Awards, and listing as one of the CB Insights Top 100 Fintechs, a global ranking that spotlights the most promising and innovative companies shaping the future of financial services. 

James Neville, CEO of Yaspa, said: “To win not one but two awards at the coveted EGR B2B Awards is an incredible achievement and testament to the great work the whole Yaspa team has done from the company’s inception to now. 

“The recognition by the industry of how our technology is using AI to make gambling safer shows the direction the market is heading and how we are leading the technological innovation in this space, from the front.”

This comes during a period of sustained growth for Yaspa in the past 18 months and closed a $12m investment round in July, led by Discerning Capital. This growth has culminated in the opening of its new Atlanta office in the US, as well as the opening of its tech hub in Leeds, UK, in August 2025.
