Siirto

Local payment methods are an increasingly common sight in online casinos. As they attempt to attract a worldwide audience, operators integrate banking options specific to certain regions or countries. That way, prospective players don’t have to leave the website to create an account elsewhere, making things more convenient.

The OG24 team tried their hands with many payment methods, but few were able to stack up to Siirto. This Finnish payment gateway blows everyone out of the water, making sending and receiving money online seamless and secure. Join us for a deep dive into Siirto to find out why it’s leagues ahead of the competition.

What is Siirto?

Siirto is a payment gateway connecting several of Finland’s largest banks. It was designed to simplify transferring funds between bank accounts and quickly grew from there. Today, it’s a go-to payment method for many Finns, who rely on it for everything from shopping online to paying for coffee. It was destined for success among online casinos – doubly so when you consider Euteller runs the service.

Like other payment gateways, you don’t have to worry about signing up for a new account. However, you will need a bank account in one of four Finnish banks: Nordea, OP, S-Pankki, and Alandsbanken. When setting the banking option up, you download your bank’s Siirto app via the App or Play Store. From there, it’s as simple as opening the app and connecting your e-banking account.

Because it’s heavily tied to Finnish banks, this payment method is only available to Finnish citizens. It also only accepts Euro transactions, so you’ll have to look elsewhere if you need multi-currency support. Siirto allows users to transfer funds between each other, which helps split the bill at a restaurant or a bar. Additionally, some retail stores let you pay with a QR code. Simply scan it using your app, confirm the transaction, and you’re good to go.

Deposited funds are transferred instantly, meaning there’s zero downtime between pay and play. Withdrawals can take anywhere from a few hours to multiple days. The wait primarily depends on the casino’s withdrawal processing time. Once completed, the funds will appear in your bank balance almost immediately.

Security

Since Siirto is built on the back of Finland’s banking infrastructure, it benefits from the same security measures financial institutions use. All transactions are encrypted and use anti-money laundering protocols to protect players and merchants. On top of that, the payment gateway does not expose any of your banking information to the casino, which is a huge plus.
