The partnership offers a great opportunity to showcase the relevance of our smart products and services in action as the players travel across the world.”

We could not be more thrilled to partner with a cutting-edge financial technology company that combines unrivalled financial industry expertise with smart technology.

“With Centtrip by our side, we can travel the world and use its products and services for all our needs, whether that is to pay players and staff in multiple currencies or buy and move horses across the globe.”
