LAS VEGAS (July 16, 2024) – Las Vegas-based payments specialist Koin has partnered with TribalValue, a division of TribalHub, a trusted facilitator of technological advancement within tribal communities, to ensure tribal populations across the United States have access to cutting-edge digital payment technology.
This important collaboration is aimed at bridging a technology gap in line with TribalValue’s mission of connecting tribal organizations with trusted partners who deliver exclusive deals and special offers tailored to tribal organizations, a mission the company has consistently delivered for more than 20 years.
Koin, which develops advanced digital payment solutions with next-generation mobile wallet capabilities, facilitates cashless transactions in the gaming sector and beyond via a centralized app. Through this partnership, TribalValue will leverage its understanding of the tribal environment and the unique needs and challenges tribal organizations face to promote Koin’s technology to tribal organizations.
“The integration of digital payment technology into the gaming and entertainment sector is crucial in advancing the broader transition to a cashless system,” said Gary Larkin, co-founder and president of Koin. “With TribalHub’s extensive network and decades of building partnerships, we look forward to bringing this important capability to a wider audience.”
“TribalValue aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of tribal organizations by facilitating connections with industry partners,” said Mike Day, TribalHub executive director. “Partners like Koin understand the needs of tribes and the importance of leveraging tribes’ collective strength to secure favorable deals.”
TribalHub offers a range of services and resources designed specifically for tribal technology leaders. Founded more than 25 years ago, the organization provides networking opportunities, educational events, consulting and customized resources for those working with Native American tribes, tribal governments, healthcare facilities and their businesses. TribalValue, a division of TribalHub, acts as a bridge between tribes and trusted industry partners to provide exclusive deals and special offers customized for tribal organizations.
“This partnership marks another step towards expanding the adoption of cashless solutions in our daily lives and, more importantly, enabling more communities to benefit from a fully integrated digital economy,” Larkin added.
The partnership has had a successful year for both organizations, with Koin recently securing reinvestment from partner and global payments leader Euronet Worldwide, Inc., expanding its collaboration with sister company Marker Trax, and set to further drive industry awareness for its technology at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas in October. Meanwhile, TribalHub is celebrating the successful launch of its TribalValue portal to enhance its service offerings to tribal businesses, and the expansion of its annual TribalNet Conference & Tradeshow, now the largest event of its kind dedicated to tribal technology and leadership.
