Samport

Svenska Spel is the largest gaming company in Sweden and is owned by the Swedish state. In early 2007, Svenska Spel initiated a selection process to find the most suitable partner for their card payment transactions. After research and evaluation of potential payment providers, Svenska Spel decided to enter into partnership with Samport Payment Services AB.

The agreement allows Svenska Spel to use Samport's system for Internet- and terminal payments (POS) as well as Samport's advanced anti-fraud solution. Initially, all kinds of Internet payments are to be handled by Samport whilst the terminal payments are optional to Svenska Spel. With one platform providing the ability to perform both Internet- and terminal payments, Samport offers Svenska Spel a cost efficient solution for all card payment transactions.

- We are very proud and excited to welcome Svenska Spel as a customer. We are confident that our payment system and anti-fraud solution will meet Svenska Spel's demands. Samport's system is built to handle both Internet- and terminal payments, and together with our anti-fraud solution we can offer a complete solution, says Mikael Hedlöf, CEO at Samport.

- Efficient and secure card payments are becoming even more important as we experience business growth. With Samport, we can work closely with one provider for all areas. Samport's capabilities to offer Internet- and terminal payments (POS) from one system as well as their advanced anti-fraud solution were important factors for us. In addition, we were impressed by their flexibility, competence and responsiveness. We are looking forward to working with Samport as our card payment partner, says Andreas Jansson, Director of Corporate Communications at Svenska Spel.
