We score each provider on 5 weighted criteria using a 1 to 10 scale. iGaming Fit carries the most weight at 30% because that is what matters most for gambling operators. Geographic Coverage gets 22%. Security & Compliance gets 20%. Fees & Pricing gets 16%. Tech & Integration gets 12%. The final score is a weighted average of those 5. Trustpilot is shown for context but carries no weight, since player reviews of casinos are not a read on B2B acquiring quality.
Score Explanation
The Fees headline is the same orchestrator caveat that hits IXOPAY, Finera and Primer. The 0.2-0.7% is Corefy's routing fee, and your real cost adds whatever each connected PSP charges on top. An operator using Nuvei through Corefy pays 0.4% to Corefy plus 1.5-3.5% to Nuvei, so realistic all-in is 1.9-3.9% per card transaction, not 0.45%. The fees dimension prices the routing layer and is not designed to stack downstream PSP costs. Security reflects the full compliance stack: PCI DSS Level 1, Visa TPA, Mastercard MRP, GDPR, Google Pay and Apple Pay certifications. Gambling licenses sit with the underlying PSPs. Stronger than previously documented. User Trust reflects a real 4.2/5 Trustpilot score, though from only 14 reviews: consistently positive and from actual B2B clients rather than end users, which is more relevant for an orchestration platform. iGaming Fit is reasonable rather than top-tier: dedicated iGaming landing page, published gambling case study, account management included, but no iGaming-dedicated team in the public record and no named gambling clients put it a step below iGaming-native PSPs. Geographic Coverage is in line with what an orchestrator's reach typically is, mediated by its connector network.
Who Is Corefy Best For?
Weighted scoring across five criteria
Recommended For
- Growing operators needing multi-PSP management. Operators processing $250k-$2M monthly who have outgrown a single PSP but aren't big enough for IXOPAY's $500k+ minimum. Corefy fills the gap between using one payment provider and needing full enterprise orchestration. The $250k floor is the lowest among orchestrators in our database. Connect two or three PSPs, set up routing rules, and start seeing the benefits of failover and optimization without enterprise-scale commitment.
- iGaming businesses wanting flexibility without lock-in. iGaming businesses that want month-to-month flexibility. No contract lock-in when IXOPAY requires 12 months and Primer requires 6. If the orchestration layer doesn't deliver the approval rate improvements or cost savings you expected, you can leave without penalty. That freedom to walk away also gives you real power in pricing negotiations.
- Payment companies building white-label products. Payment companies and PSPs building branded payment products for their merchant portfolio. Corefy's white-label dashboard lets you offer a fully branded orchestration experience. Not as deep as IXOPAY's white-label which covers the entire platform with custom domains, but sufficient for most PSP use cases at a lower price point.
- Teams expanding into new markets quickly. Operators expanding into new geographic markets. With 600+ ready-made connectors, adding a PSP for a new market is configuration work rather than engineering work. Want to add LATAM coverage? Connect PayRetailers or AstroPay. Need European open banking? Add Trustly. Each connector takes days rather than weeks to activate.
Not Recommended For
- Operators under $250k monthly. Operators under $250k monthly volume. Even though Corefy has the lowest minimum among orchestrators, $250k is still substantial. Below that threshold the orchestration fee eats into margins without enough transaction volume to benefit from smart routing optimization. NOWPayments, CoinGate and CoinsPaid have no minimums. Brite starts at $200k.
- Teams wanting direct acquiring. Anyone expecting Corefy to process payments directly. This is orchestration infrastructure. You still need contracts with actual acquirers and PSPs. If you want one provider that handles routing and acquiring together, Nuvei does both under a single contract, while Corefy connects to those providers but doesn't replace them.
- Companies needing UKGC-grade compliance help. Operators who need hands-on compliance guidance for specific gambling licenses like UKGC or MGA. Corefy provides the technical infrastructure and supports compliance through configuration. It doesn't provide compliance consulting, license application assistance or regulatory strategy. If that's what you need, Nuvei and Paysafe have dedicated compliance teams for gambling operators.
- Operators who prefer one provider for everything. Companies that would rather deal with one payment provider than manage a PSP portfolio. Orchestration adds value when you have multiple providers and need intelligent routing between them. If you process everything through Nuvei or Adyen and that works fine, adding Corefy introduces complexity and cost without clear benefit.
Geographic Coverage
Per-market verdict, regions, and market focus
Regions
- Europe
- CIS
- Latin America
Coverage Analysis
Global reach through 600+ connectors. Corefy itself has no geographic limitations because it routes to providers that operate in each market. London headquarters with engineering in Kyiv, plus offices in Manila, Herzliya and Amsterdam. The office footprint suggests European and Asian market focus for sales, though the platform works anywhere a connected PSP operates. Published case study mentions a gambling client in Europe, LATAM and Asia. IXOPAY covers 30+ countries with 200+ adapters. Finera claims 600+ connectors. Primer has 70+ PSPs. Corefy's connector count is at the top end.
Regional Breakdown
The connector library makes geographic expansion a configuration exercise. Adding a new market means connecting a PSP that operates there, setting routing rules, and testing. No new integration work on your side. Corefy supports 200+ currencies including crypto, which covers settlement in most markets. The practical limitation is that your geographic reach still depends on which PSPs you contract with. Corefy makes it easy to add them but you still need the commercial relationships. For operators moving into LATAM, connecting AstroPay or PayRetailers through Corefy is faster than building direct integrations. For European expansion, Trustly or Brite through Corefy. For crypto globally, NOWPayments or CoinGate. The orchestration layer just removes the engineering bottleneck.

Key Features for iGaming Operators
Products, payment methods, and verticals
Key Products
Orchestration, 600+ connectors, Reconciliation
Four main products. The Payment Orchestration Platform is the core: connect PSPs, route transactions with AI logic, manage tokenized data, reconcile settlements. The White-Label Dashboard lets payment companies rebrand the interface for their own merchants. The Analytics and Reporting suite provides transaction monitoring, fee tracking, chargeback analysis and PSP performance comparison. The Payout System handles mass disbursements through connected providers with 250+ methods. As an iGaming operator you use the orchestration platform and analytics. As a PSP serving operators, the white-label adds value.
Payment Methods
Access to whatever methods your connected PSPs offer. Corefy lists 250+ payout methods and 200+ currencies. The total available methods across the entire connector network reportedly exceed 1,200, though that number includes overlap between providers. Tokenization stores payment credentials centrally so switching between PSPs doesn't lose stored data. Smart routing decides which PSP handles each transaction based on AI logic: geography, card type, historical approval rates, costs. The difference from IXOPAY's rule-based approach is that Corefy's routing learns from transaction outcomes and adjusts automatically.
Verticals
iGaming and high-risk are the primary verticals. Corefy has a dedicated iGaming page on their website, a published gambling case study, and explicit marketing toward casino operators. The case study describes an international gambling and betting company with operations in Europe, LATAM and parts of Asia. Forex trading platforms are the other major vertical with their own case study. The platform handles the specific challenges high-risk verticals face: multiple acquiring relationships, cascading between providers when one declines, different routing strategies by market and risk level.

Pricing Details
Routing fees of 0.2-0.7% per transaction on top of connected PSP costs. Setup fees range from $0 to $3k depending on complexity. No monthly fees disclosed publicly. Minimum volume $250k per month. No contract lock-in. This is the most operator-friendly pricing structure among orchestrators in our database. IXOPAY charges 0.1-0.5% but requires $500k+ minimum and 12-month lock-in. Finera charges 0.1-0.5% with no lock-in but $300k minimum. Primer charges 0.2-0.6% with $500k minimum and 6-month lock-in. Total cost for an operator running $500k monthly through two PSPs: Corefy's routing fee of $1,000-$3,500 plus all PSP acquiring fees plus interchange and scheme fees. The PSP costs typically run $7,500-$17,500 at that volume, making Corefy's orchestration layer roughly 10-20% of total payment processing spend. Based on current market data, February 2026.
Negotiation Tips
Start with the no lock-in advantage. Run Corefy for 3-6 months, measure whether the AI routing actually improves approval rates or reduces costs versus manual PSP management. If it does, negotiate the routing percentage down based on proven volume. If it doesn't, you leave without penalty. Push the routing fee toward 0.2-0.3% at $500k+ monthly volume. At $1M+ you should be well below 0.5%. Ask for the setup fee to be waived entirely since Corefy competes against Finera and Primer who both offer zero or minimal setup. Compare total cost against running a single full-stack PSP. If Nuvei at a negotiated 2% flat rate handles your volume and markets, adding a 0.4% orchestration layer on top of multiple PSPs might not save money. The math works best when you have three or more PSPs and the routing optimization demonstrably lifts approval rates by 2-5%.

Settlement optionsTransaction speed is determined by the connected PSPs, not Corefy. The orchestration layer adds milliseconds of routing decision time. Deposits, withdrawals, settlements and refunds all follow the timeline of whichever PSP handles the transaction. Route through Trustly and you get T+1. Route through Nuvei and you get T+2 to T+7. Route through Brite and you get T+0. Corefy's AI routing can factor settlement speed into routing decisions if configured to prioritize faster-settling providers. The reconciliation engine automatically matches settlements across all connected PSPs, which saves significant back-office time compared to reconciling each PSP separately. Updated Q1 2026.

Integration Assessment
Single API integration with 600+ ready-made connectors. Full sandbox for testing. Documentation quality is Good. Onboarding takes 1-3 weeks, which sits in the middle of the orchestrator range. Finera and Primer onboard in 1-2 weeks. IXOPAY takes 2-4 weeks. The connector count is Corefy's strongest technical differentiator. Adding a new PSP means activating an existing connector rather than building a custom integration. In 2025 alone, Corefy shipped 161 new integrations and 846 updates to existing connectors. The new platform version launched in Q2 2025 brings an updated interface, customizable checkout, new processing capabilities and performance improvements. NuxGame is a confirmed iGaming platform integration partner as of December 2025. Updated May 2026.

Company History
Started as PayCore.io in 2018. Denys Kyrychenko, Dmytro Dziubenko, and Den Melnykov co-founded the company based on a decade of fintech experience. Kyrychenko had previously co-founded Interkassa, a payment aggregator in Eastern Europe. The initial product was straightforward: a platform to connect and manage multiple payment providers through one interface.
Rebranded to Corefy in 2021, marking what the company calls a 'new chapter in product and market evolution.' The connector count grew past 500, the AI routing engine matured, and the team expanded with offices across London, Kyiv, Manila, Herzliya and Amsterdam. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine impacted the Kyiv R&D office, but operations continued. The CEO published a public letter about the war and the company's resilience.
2023 through 2025 brought 150% annual growth and recognition as best payment orchestration platform at the UK Enterprise Awards 2023. The connector count reached 600+. A new platform version launched in Q2 2025 with an updated interface and expanded capabilities. Still privately held with no disclosed external funding beyond a possible early-stage round. The team sits at roughly 70-90 employees depending on the source. The iGaming vertical grew with a published case study and dedicated gambling marketing.
What Users Say About Corefy
Our analysis of 14 reviews from Trustpilot and industry sources
Remaining 0% are 2-4 star reviews. Trustpilot does not publish a programmatic breakdown for intermediate ratings, so we report only the verified 5★ and 1★ shares.
Review Analysis
4.2/5 on Trustpilot from 14 reviews, rated 'Great.' Small sample but 100% of recent reviews are positive. Reviewers describe Corefy as a 'true gem among fintech solutions' and 'the most feature-complete white label payment platform for PSPs.' Account management quality comes up repeatedly. One reviewer noted migration took less than 2 weeks with no disruption. These are B2B reviews from actual platform users, not end consumers, which is more meaningful for evaluating a payment orchestration provider.
Context for Operators
14 reviews is a small sample. Finera has 30, Primer has 32, IXOPAY has 1. Among orchestrators, small Trustpilot presence is normal because the end users never interact with the orchestration layer directly. What matters is that the reviews are real B2B feedback. Nobody is writing about a bad deposit experience at a casino. They are writing about platform quality, migration support, feature completeness and account management. That's the right signal for this type of product. The consistently positive tone across all 14 reviews is unusual. Most companies at any rating have some negative outliers. Either Corefy has very high client satisfaction or the sample is too small to capture dissatisfied users.
Notable Clients
Corefy mostly keeps client names anonymous, but NuxGame is a confirmed partner as of December 2025, a B2B iGaming platform provider that integrated Corefy for global payment orchestration. The published gambling case study describes an 'international online gambling and sports betting company' operating across Europe, LATAM and parts of Asia. Before Corefy this client managed direct PSP integrations with an in-house dev team. After switching in 2021 they gained access to 200+ off-the-shelf integrations. A forex case study and a payments company case study are also published without names. NuxGame is the first publicly named iGaming partner, though still a platform provider rather than an end operator like Bet365 or DraftKings.

Frequently Asked Questions
10 questions about Corefy
Yes. Dedicated iGaming landing page, published gambling case study, AI routing optimized for high-risk verticals, and the lowest minimum volume among orchestrators at $250k. No contract lock-in means you can evaluate without long-term risk. The gap compared to Nuvei or Paysafe: no named casino clients, no dedicated iGaming compliance team, and no direct acquiring. Corefy provides routing infrastructure that works well for gambling. It doesn't provide the full-service iGaming payment experience.
Routing fee of 0.2-0.7% per transaction on top of your PSP costs. Setup fee $0-3k. No monthly fee disclosed. $250k minimum volume. No contract lock-in. Total cost equals Corefy's fee plus all connected PSP fees plus interchange and scheme fees. At $500k monthly expect $1,000-$3,500 for Corefy's orchestration on top of $7,500-$17,500 to your acquirers. Updated February 2026.
Corefy has 600+ connectors versus IXOPAY's 200+. Corefy minimum is $250k versus $500k. Corefy has no contract lock-in versus 12 months. Corefy uses AI routing versus IXOPAY's rule-based engine. IXOPAY wins on white-label maturity, having offered it since 2018 with full platform rebranding. IXOPAY also has the Congrify AI analytics acquisition. If white-label depth matters most, IXOPAY. If flexibility and lower entry barrier matter more, Corefy.
Similar positioning. Both are orchestrators with 600+ connectors, AI routing, no contract lock-in, and iGaming focus. Finera charges 0.1-0.5% routing versus Corefy's 0.2-0.7%, slightly cheaper. Finera's minimum is $300k versus $250k. Finera was founded in 2021, Corefy in 2018, giving Corefy a longer track record. Corefy has 4.2/5 Trustpilot from 14 reviews versus Finera's 3.7/5 from 30. The differences are marginal. Evaluate based on demo quality, account management fit and connector coverage for your specific markets.
No. Corefy is an orchestration layer. It routes transactions to PSPs and acquirers that do the actual processing. You need separate contracts with payment providers for every market. Corefy makes managing those providers easier through centralized routing, tokenization and reconciliation. Nuvei combines orchestration with direct acquiring if you want both under one contract.
1-3 weeks. Single API with 600+ ready-made connectors. Full sandbox available. Adding a new PSP after initial integration is configuration work, not engineering. Documentation quality is rated Good. The Q2 2025 platform update added a new interface and improved onboarding flow. For context, Finera and Primer onboard in 1-2 weeks. IXOPAY takes 2-4 weeks.
AI-based transaction routing that automatically selects the best PSP for each payment based on geography, card type, historical approval rates, cost and risk factors. Unlike IXOPAY's rule-based engine where you manually define routing logic, Corefy's system learns from transaction outcomes and adjusts. This means approval rates should improve over time as the AI processes more data. The practical benefit: higher conversion with lower manual configuration effort.
Corefy's R&D team operates from Kyiv, Ukraine. The CEO published a public letter about the company's position when the 2022 invasion began. Operations continued without disruption according to the company. Headquarters are in London, with additional offices in Manila, Herzliya and Amsterdam. The distributed office structure provides operational resilience. The war is a risk factor worth asking about during due diligence. Ask for their business continuity plan and what happens to platform support if the Kyiv office becomes unavailable.
4.2/5 from 14 reviews as of Q1 2026, rated 'Great' by Trustpilot. All recent reviews are positive. Reviewers praise account management, migration support and platform features. Small sample compared to full-stack PSPs like Worldpay at 10,022 reviews or Nuvei at 828, but in line with other orchestrators. IXOPAY has 1 review, Primer has 32, Finera has no verified Trustpilot profile.
Yes, through connected crypto PSPs. The platform supports 200+ currencies including crypto. Connect NOWPayments for 350+ coins, CoinGate for 70+ with MiCA compliance, or CoinsPaid for regulated EU crypto processing. Corefy routes crypto transactions the same way it routes fiat: through the AI routing engine to the connected provider. Useful for operators offering both fiat and crypto deposit options.
Our Verdict: Should You Use Corefy?
Final assessment for iGaming operators
Overall iGaming Score
Summary
The most accessible payment orchestrator in our database. $250k minimum, no lock-in, AI routing, 600+ connectors, and a clean track record with 150% annual growth. Real strengths sit in user trust and iGaming positioning. The Security and Fees headlines should be read with orchestrator context rather than at face value: licensing surface area is structurally smaller than for direct PSPs, and the routing-fee dimension doesn't price downstream PSP costs. Corefy fills a specific gap: operators who need multi-PSP orchestration but aren't ready for IXOPAY's enterprise pricing or Nuvei's full-stack commitment.
Strongest Point
Flexibility without commitment. No contract lock-in is rare in payment orchestration. Combined with the $250k minimum, lowest in our orchestrator database, it means operators can test multi-PSP routing without a long-term bet. If the AI routing lifts approval rates by 2-3%, the 0.2-0.7% routing fee pays for itself quickly. If it doesn't, you leave after a month. That try-before-you-commit model removes the biggest objection most mid-size operators have against orchestration platforms. IXOPAY locks you in for 12 months. Primer for 6. Corefy lets you validate the value first.
Key Limitation
Limited client transparency. NuxGame is now a confirmed partner (December 2025), but NuxGame is a B2B platform, not an end operator. No named casino operators, no disclosed funding, no public revenue figures. The gambling case study is useful but anonymous. For an operator doing due diligence, you're still evaluating Corefy largely on demos, connector count claims and a small set of anonymous references. Nuvei names Bet365 and DraftKings. Paysafe names 888 and PokerStars. Trustly names Unibet and Betsson. Corefy names one B2B partner. The other concern is the Kyiv R&D dependency during an ongoing conflict. Operations have continued but the risk is real and worth factoring into your decision.
Recommendation
Strong choice for operators in the $250k-$2M monthly range who want orchestration without enterprise-level commitment. The no lock-in model lets you validate before committing. Connect your existing PSPs, turn on AI routing, and measure results for 3-6 months. If approval rates improve and costs drop, negotiate long-term rates. If you're above $2M and want deeper white-label capabilities, evaluate IXOPAY alongside Corefy. If you want acquiring bundled with orchestration to reduce vendor count, look at Nuvei instead. Updated May 2026.
Pros
- No contract lock-in. The only orchestrator in our database that lets you leave at any time. IXOPAY locks for 12 months. Primer for 6. Finera has no lock-in either, but at a higher $300k minimum. For operators testing whether orchestration adds value, Corefy removes the commitment risk entirely.
- Lowest entry point among orchestrators at $250k minimum monthly volume. IXOPAY starts at $500k+. Primer at $500k. Finera at $300k. This makes Corefy the only realistic option for growing operators who have outgrown a single PSP but aren't processing at enterprise scale yet.
- 600+ ready-made connectors, the highest count tied with Finera in our database. Adding a new PSP is configuration rather than custom development. That speed matters when you need to expand into a new market quickly. IXOPAY has 200+. Primer has 70+. The connector advantage is real.
- AI-based smart routing that learns from transaction outcomes. Unlike IXOPAY's rule-based engine that requires manual configuration, Corefy's AI adjusts routing automatically based on approval rates, costs and risk factors. Less setup effort and theoretically better optimization over time as the system processes more data.
- Consistently positive Trustpilot reviews from B2B clients. 4.2/5 from 14 reviews with account management quality highlighted repeatedly. Small sample, yes, but the reviews come from actual platform users evaluating features, migration support and service quality rather than end consumers complaining about deposits.
- Setup fees of $0-3k are the lowest among orchestrators. IXOPAY charges $5k+. Primer charges $0 but starts at $500k volume. Combined with no lock-in, the financial barrier to trying Corefy is minimal for an operator already processing $250k.
Cons
- Almost no named clients. NuxGame (B2B iGaming platform) announced a partnership in December 2025, but no end operators are named. The gambling case study is anonymous. Trustpilot reviewers are anonymous. No 'trusted by' section with recognizable casino brands. For an operator choosing a payment infrastructure partner, the inability to reference-check with named end-operator clients is a meaningful gap. Every major competitor names gambling operators directly.
- No financial institution license or acquiring authorization. Corefy holds PCI DSS Level 1, Visa TPA, and Mastercard MRP, which is solid for an orchestrator, but still no FCA authorization, no ECB license, no gambling-specific compliance certifications. Compliance responsibility sits with connected PSPs and with the operator. Nuvei has FCA, ECB. Paysafe has FCA, Central Bank Ireland. Corefy's regulatory footprint is appropriate for a routing layer but thinner than direct PSPs.
- R&D operations in Kyiv during an ongoing conflict. The company has been transparent about it and operations continued, but this is a real risk factor. Platform development, bug fixes and new feature releases depend on the Kyiv engineering team. London, Manila, Herzliya and Amsterdam provide geographic spread, but the core engineering talent sits in a war zone. Ask for their business continuity plan.
- No direct acquiring capability. You need separate contracts with every PSP. For an operator running three acquirers through Corefy, that's three separate onboarding processes, three sets of commercial negotiations, three compliance reviews. Nuvei handles acquiring and orchestration together, reducing vendor management overhead significantly.
- The routing fee of 0.2-0.7% stacks on top of PSP costs. At the high end of the range, that's a meaningful margin addition. On a 2% PSP rate, adding 0.7% Corefy fee brings total to 2.7%. Whether the AI routing savings justify that premium depends on your specific approval rate improvements. Without measurable lift, the orchestration layer is pure cost.

Corefy vs. Alternatives: How It Compares
Similar payment processing solutions
IXOPAY offers deeper white-label capabilities with more enterprise features but at $500k+ minimum and 12-month lock-in. Finera matches Corefy on connector count and no-lock-in but charges slightly less at 0.1-0.5%. Primer brings a visual routing builder for non-technical teams. Nuvei combines orchestration with direct acquiring, eliminating the need for separate PSP contracts. For operators choosing between orchestrators, the decision often comes down to volume requirements, contract flexibility and whether you need acquiring bundled in.
When to Choose an Alternative
- IXOPAY
