Crypto payment processing meets payment orchestration for iGaming

One integration. Hundreds of payment methods. More opportunities for global businesses.

Custodex has officially integrated with Vertex Group, bringing cryptocurrency payments into a global payment orchestration ecosystem. Merchants using Vertex Group can now access Custodex's crypto payment processing capabilities through their existing integration, without building a separate direct API connection.

The integration went live on September 28, 2026, expanding payment options for iGaming operators, betting platforms, and other businesses operating across complex international markets.

For merchants, this means greater payment flexibility, fewer technical integrations, and a more streamlined way to manage their payment infrastructure.

What Is Vertex Group and How Does Payment Orchestration Work?

As businesses expand internationally, managing payments becomes increasingly complex. Different markets require different payment methods, providers, currencies, and technical integrations. Adding a new payment service provider (PSP) often means additional development work, separate agreements, and ongoing maintenance.

Payment orchestration helps solve this challenge by bringing multiple providers together under one infrastructure layer.

Vertex Group is a payment orchestration platform that gives businesses access to more than 500 payment methods worldwide through a single integration.

Instead of connecting to each PSP individually, merchants integrate with Vertex Group once and manage multiple payment solutions through one platform.

Unlike software-only orchestration providers, Vertex Group also helps merchants source suitable PSPs, coordinate onboarding, and expand into new markets.

Key Benefits of Vertex Group Payment Orchestration

700+ Payment Methods Through One Integration

Access a global network of payment methods without building and maintaining separate integrations for every provider.

Faster Expansion Into New Markets

Vertex Group helps merchants identify and connect suitable payment providers for new GEOs, reducing the technical complexity of international expansion.

Smart Payment Routing

Transactions can be routed between providers based on geography, currency, BIN, transaction limits, provider performance, and merchant-defined rules. This helps businesses optimize payment flows and improve transaction approval rates.

Automatic Failover and Cascading

When a payment route becomes unavailable, eligible transactions can be redirected to an alternative provider, helping minimize payment disruptions.

Centralized Payment Management

Manage PSPs, payment methods, transaction monitoring, analytics, and reconciliation through a unified dashboard. For international businesses, this means less operational complexity and greater control over their payment infrastructure.

What Does the Custodex and Vertex Group Integration Mean for Merchants?

The integration brings Custodex's cryptocurrency payment processing capabilities into the Vertex Group payment ecosystem.

Merchants already connected to Vertex Group can now add Custodex crypto payments without developing a separate direct integration.

This creates new opportunities for businesses looking to expand their payment options while keeping their infrastructure manageable.

Crypto Payments as Part of a Unified Payment Stack

Cryptocurrency has become an important payment option for international businesses, particularly in industries such as iGaming and online betting.

However, managing crypto payments through separate providers can add complexity to an already fragmented payment infrastructure.

With Custodex available through Vertex Group, merchants can incorporate cryptocurrency payments alongside other supported payment methods within their existing orchestration setup.

Rather than treating crypto as an isolated payment channel, businesses can make it part of their broader payment strategy.

Less Development. More Payment Options.

Every new payment integration requires technical resources.

For businesses managing multiple PSPs, maintaining separate API connections can become a significant operational burden.

The Custodex and Vertex Group integration reduces this complexity.

Merchants using Vertex Group can request access to Custodex’s crypto payment capabilities through their existing connection, minimizing the need for additional development.

A More Flexible Payment Infrastructure

Relying on a single payment provider can expose businesses to unnecessary operational risks.

A multi-provider payment strategy allows merchants to diversify their payment options and adapt to changing market conditions.

Vertex Group provides the orchestration layer, while Custodex expands the available payment methods with cryptocurrency processing.

Together, they help merchants build a more flexible and scalable payment infrastructure.

Why Payment Orchestration Matters for iGaming

The iGaming industry operates in one of the most demanding payment environments.

Online casinos, betting platforms, and international gaming operators process large volumes of transactions across multiple currencies and markets.

Payment availability can vary significantly depending on geography, provider requirements, and local payment preferences.

For these businesses, a reliable payment infrastructure is essential.

1. Payment Availability

Players expect convenient and accessible payment methods.

When a preferred payment option is unavailable, users may abandon their deposits or switch to another platform.

Offering a broader range of relevant payment methods helps businesses reduce friction in the payment experience.

2. Infrastructure Reliability

Technical issues affecting a single payment provider can disrupt deposit processing.

Payment orchestration helps merchants distribute transactions across available routes and use backup providers where supported.

This reduces dependency on individual payment connections and helps maintain payment continuity.

3. International Scalability

Expanding into new markets often requires local payment methods and additional PSP relationships.

With an orchestration platform, merchants can add supported payment solutions without rebuilding their entire payment infrastructure.

By combining Custodex’s crypto processing capabilities with Vertex Group’s payment orchestration technology, merchants gain more flexibility in how they accept and manage payments across international markets.
