Zimpler

Zimpler is a Swedish pay-by-bank service that moves money straight from your bank account to a casino, with no card numbers typed in and no stored balance sitting in a wallet. It grew up in the Nordics around one idea, that you should be able to pay using your phone number, and in Sweden you confirm a payment with BankID rather than card details. You will meet it far more often in a Swedish or Finnish cashier, or now a Brazilian one, than at a UK-licensed casino. This page covers what Zimpler actually is, how a deposit works, and why it is so hard to find at a British site.

A Swedish service built around your phone number
Zimpler started in 2012 as PugglePay, founded by Johan Friis and Kristofer Ekman Sinclair. The pitch was simple: pay online using your mobile number, one of the few numbers most people know by heart. The team built an invoicing product, moved into space at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg in 2013, and expanded into Finland the following year. In 2016 PugglePay rebranded as Zimpler and added the account-to-account service most people meet today. It is regulated by Finansinspektionen, Sweden’s financial supervisory authority, as an authorised payment institution rather than a bank. That distinction matters at a casino: Zimpler is a route between your existing bank and the operator, not a place where you keep a balance the way you would with an e-wallet.
How a Zimpler deposit works
Because there is no wallet to preload, the money comes straight out of your bank. At a casino cashier you pick Zimpler, choose your country and bank, and get handed to your bank’s own login. In Sweden that means approving the payment with BankID; in other markets it is your bank’s app, a card reader or a one-time code. Once the bank confirms it, the casino credits your balance, usually within seconds. The casino never sees your card number or your banking password, because the authorisation happens inside your bank’s environment and not on the casino’s page. That instant, verify-through-your-bank flow is the same idea behind the Pay N Play casinos that took hold in Sweden, where your bank login doubles as identity verification so registration and the first deposit happen in one step. Zimpler is one of the providers behind that model, alongside Trustly.
Strong in the Nordics, growing fast in Brazil
Zimpler’s home turf is the Nordics and the Baltics, with Sweden and Finland at the core and a link into Sweden’s Swish instant-payment rail. Its biggest recent move has been Brazil, where it has operated since 2022, opened a São Paulo office in 2023, and was authorised as a Pix participant by Brazil’s central bank in November 2025. Pix is Brazil’s instant-payment system, and that approval let Zimpler run real-time deposits and payouts there directly. All of which explains why the badge is common in a Stockholm or São Paulo cashier and rare in a British one: the product was built for markets where paying straight from a bank account is the norm, while UK players lean on cards and established e-wallets.
Two things that changed in 2025
Older reviews miss both. In October 2025 Finansinspektionen gave Zimpler a formal remark and a 3 million kronor fine for anti-money-laundering failings between July 2023 and April 2024. The regulator found gaps in how Zimpler assessed risk and checked customers, and the context is the part worth knowing: around 30 per cent of its 258 merchants were gambling businesses and roughly 70 per cent of its end users had a gambling connection, so those controls sat under real pressure. Days later, on 21 October 2025, the UK open-banking firm TrueLayer agreed to buy Zimpler; the deal closed in 2026 once the Swedish regulator signed off, creating a pay-by-bank group with more than 20 million users. None of this changes how a deposit looks at the cashier, but it does tell you Zimpler now sits inside a larger UK-based network rather than a standalone Swedish outfit.
Using it at a UK casino
Here is the plain position: it is hard to find a UK-licensed casino that lists Zimpler by name. The method is aimed at the Nordics, the Baltics and Brazil, and most UK operators stick to cards, e-wallets and other bank-transfer options. Where a UK site does offer it, treat it as a deposit-first method; some accept Zimpler for deposits but pay winnings back by bank transfer instead. Where payouts to Zimpler are supported, return-to-source rules usually send the money back to the same bank account you deposited from, once your account is verified. One UK rule applies whatever the badge: paying with a credit card to gamble has been banned at UK Gambling Commission sites since April 2020, and funding a bank payment from a credit line is not a way around it. Worth noting too, the pay-by-bank technology now belongs to TrueLayer, which already powers bank payments at large UK operators, so you may be using the same plumbing at a British casino even when the Zimpler name never appears.
Is it worth seeking out?
If you already bank in Sweden, Finland or the Baltics, Zimpler does a clean job: it keeps your card out of the casino’s hands and settles in seconds using a login you already trust. For a UK player starting from scratch the case is thin, because so few UK-licensed sites accept it, and a widely taken option such as Neteller or another pay-by-bank service will reach more cashiers with fewer dead ends. Zimpler earns its place as a method you already use, not one to hunt down for gambling alone. The full set of options the casinos we review accept is on the payment methods page.
When we assess a payment method we check how many of the UK-licensed casinos we track actually list it, walk through the real sign-up, deposit and withdrawal steps, and flag where a method is offered for deposits but not payouts. Zimpler sits in the regional pay-by-bank corner of that list rather than the UK mainstream. The casinos shown below are ones that accept it.
Can I use Zimpler at UK casinos?
It is possible but uncommon. Zimpler is a Swedish pay-by-bank service aimed mainly at the Nordics, the Baltics and Brazil, and few UK-licensed casinos list it by name. Where a UK site does offer it, deposits are instant and taken straight from your bank; withdrawals are often paid back by bank transfer instead. Its owner since 2026, the UK firm TrueLayer, also powers pay-by-bank at some large UK operators even where the Zimpler name never shows at the cashier.
Is Zimpler an e-wallet?
No. Zimpler moves money directly between your bank and the casino (account-to-account) rather than holding a stored balance, so there is nothing to preload. The authorisation happens inside your bank's own app or login, with BankID in Sweden, which means the casino never sees your card number or banking password.
How long do Zimpler withdrawals take?
Zimpler can push a transfer out quickly, but the casino's own checks come first: identity verification, responsible-gambling and fraud reviews can take anything from a few hours to several working days. The bank then credits the money, usually the same day once approved. Many casinos also restrict payouts to players who deposited with Zimpler in the first place.
Is Zimpler safe and properly regulated?
Zimpler is an authorised payment institution supervised by Finansinspektionen, Sweden's financial regulator. In October 2025 that regulator gave it a remark and a 3 million kronor fine for anti-money-laundering shortcomings between 2023 and 2024, and the UK firm TrueLayer has since acquired the business. Because a payment is authorised inside your own bank, your card details are not shared with the casino.
Does it cost anything to use Zimpler at a casino?
Casinos generally do not add a fee for a Zimpler deposit, but that is set by the operator rather than by Zimpler, so it is not universal. Any currency conversion or bank charges depend on your account and country. Minimum and maximum amounts are set by each casino and vary by your verification level, so check the cashier's limits before you deposit.
