History

Paysera was launched in 2004 in Lithuania with the goal of developing a new payment processing system called Mokejimai (www.mokejimai.lt.). The company changed its name in 2008 to EVP International, under which it received a payment institution license in 2011 and an electronic money institution license in 2012, both issued by the Bank of Lithuania.

After rolling out its mobile app in 2014, the company changed its name to Paysera and began working on new features and services, including a Visa payment card, an event ticketing system, issuing IBAN accounts for clients, and a payment initiation service (PIS).

In 2017, Paysera introduced a contactless (NFC) Visa payment card and obtained its PCI DSS certificate. Moreover, in 2019, their license was updated with the right to provide an account information service (AIS).

Player Experience

As a PCI DSS certificate holder, Paysera is safe, secure, and reliable, and there have been no major issues raised by casino players. They can use the method for both deposits and withdrawals, and besides the fees for transfers outside the SEPA payment system, there are no major issues or obstacles reported.

Users can set up SEPA and IBAN accounts online and enjoy a full digital banking experience. Still, it’s worth noting that the prepaid card is only available to EEA residents and that players can only transfer funds between their Paysera and other bank accounts, which rather limits the options.
