"We believe embedded fintech is the future, enabling seamless, integrated financial services for businesses and individuals alike," said Olegs Cernisevs as Blackcatcard announces that it won Best-In-Business Payment Provider of the Year at the Malta Gaming Excellence Awards (MiGEA) 2025.

The MiGEA awards, held annually in Malta, recognise the industry's leading performers and innovators. This event gathers key stakeholders to celebrate accomplishments and encourage continued progress within the gaming and related sectors.

“We’re truly honored to receive this award from MiGEA, an organisation known for recognising innovation and excellence,” he added.

Blackcatcard offers regulated fiat services and digital asset infrastructure within a single, compliant ecosystem. One of Blackcatcard’s standout offerings is BCC Pay, a proprietary payment gateway specifically developed for the iGaming and gambling industry.

By using account-to-account (A2A) transfers instead of traditional card acquiring, BCC Pay allows merchants to reduce payment processing costs by up to 40 per cent, while ensuring faster settlement times and greater control over the payment flow. Additional benefits include cashback, bonuses, and a partner program that allows iGaming projects to earn from players' activities.
