bet365, one of the world’s leading online betting and gaming brands, has gone live with TrueLayer’s Pay by Bank technology – giving players a faster, safer way to directly deposit from and withdraw to their bank accounts.

In a major milestone for the igaming industry, bet365 has made Pay by Bank the recommended payment option in its checkout. This marks one of the strongest endorsements of the technology from a global operator and underlines bet365’s reputation as a pioneer in adopting new, player-first innovations while maintaining the highest safer gambling standards.

With TrueLayer’s Pay by Bank, bet365 customers can now:

● Deposit instantly from their bank account

● Withdraw winnings instantly, straight back to their account

● Enjoy enhanced security, thanks to biometric bank authentication and real-time payment confirmation.

By placing Pay by Bank front and centre, bet365 is signalling the future of igaming payments: instant, low-friction, and secure. The new checkout experience gives players more confidence and control, while helping bet365 reduce fraud and operational overheads linked to card-based payments.

Francesco Simoneschi, chief executive officer and co-founder of TrueLayer, said: “This is a landmark moment for Pay by Bank adoption. bet365 isn’t just offering it – they’re recommending it.

“That sends a powerful message to the market about where payments are heading. bet365 has always been at the cutting edge of technology, and we’re proud to help them lead the way once again.”

Andy Leydon, joint head of payments at bet365, said: “At bet365, we’re constantly looking for ways to make the player experience faster, simpler, and more streamlined whilst maintaining a safe and secure environment.

“TrueLayer’s Pay by Bank technology allows us to do exactly that. Making it our recommended payment option reflects the confidence we have in this solution – and our commitment to bringing the best innovations to our customers.”

TrueLayer’s Pay by Bank is now live across bet365’s UK and German operations, with expansion into additional markets planned throughout 2026.
