Supported regionsEuropeGenome currently offers business accounts with IBAN, SEPA/SEPA Instant, SWIFT and internal wallet transfers. Its homepage lists 12 currencies. Card processing and host-to-host integration are marked coming soon on that page, so they are not presented here as live acquiring capabilities; gambling-sector eligibility still needs direct confirmation.

iGaming stance
The official source describes the product and its use case. This is not an independently measured market-share or performance ranking.
Worth knowing: This is primarily a banking provider, not a gambling acquirer. Confirm which merchant services are actually available to you before putting it on a shortlist.
Primary-source review: 5 October 2026. This is documentary research, not live payment testing. Provider claims are identified separately from documented terms.
The business high-risk table lists €500 initial EUR IBAN opening, €100/month or €1,000/year account service, and a €1,000 warranty reserve. Curaçao opening is €1,000. These are business-account terms, not a card-acquiring quote. Official source.
The high-risk merchant table lists open-banking initiation at €0.55 + 4% and free payouts to a Genome account. The site's card processing and host-to-host card integration are marked coming soon; don't represent them as live. Official source.
The money-transfer product describes SEPA payouts, Verification of Payee and incoming-payment webhooks. An API requires an onboarded business account; file-based batch transfers are a separate option for up to 3,000 payments. Official source.
Primary evidence for the industry use case or acceptance policy. Regional tags are evaluation coverage, not blanket gambling approval.

Seven weighted factors produce 5.8. The heaviest is derived from the stance above, not scored by hand.
Regulatory assessment · 21 October 2026
5.5/10: a current authorisation for the contracting entity was not independently confirmed in the published evidence. The criterion is capped at 5.5 under the unverified-authorisation rubric. This is an evidence limitation, not a finding that the company is unlicensed or unlawful. For schemes and technical platforms, check the actual regulated PSP or acquirer rather than assuming the platform holds its authorisation.
Compliance criterion revised from 7.0 to 5.5 after the evidence review. Other criterion inputs were not changed.
