FastoPayments Is Heading to SX Festival & Expo 2026 in Berlin, and we are nominated!
We have some news we are genuinely proud of. FastoPayments has been nominated in the Growth Engine Solutions category at SX Festival & Expo 2026, taking place in Berlin from 26 to 28 June.
SX has grown into Europe’s leading gathering for the sex tech, adult, and dating industries. It brings together the founders, platforms, and service providers building the future of these sectors, alongside the investors and partners who back them. For a payments business, that is exactly the room you want to be in.
Why this nomination means something to us
Most payment providers will not touch the industries we work with. The adult, dating, and wider high-risk space is treated as too complicated, too sensitive, or simply too much effort. We took the opposite view. We built FastoPayments specifically for merchants who have been turned away elsewhere, with proper processing, gateway technology, and IBAN account placement through our network of partners.
Being recognised at SX, and in the Growth Engine Solutions category specifically, tells us that approach is working. The right payment setup is not just plumbing. For the merchants we work with, it is the difference between a business that can scale and one that stalls. We are proud to be seen as part of that growth story, and as a serious, long-term partner rather than just another processor.
We will be in Berlin, and we want to meet you
We are sending three of the team to Berlin: Gerardo, Annabel, and Leena. Between them they cover the commercial, onboarding, and partnership side of FastoPayments, so whatever stage your business is at, there will be someone ready to have the right conversation.
Awards are nice, but the real reason we are going is the people. Over three days the event pulls together exactly the merchants, platforms, and partners we are built to support.
If you run a business in the adult, dating, or wider high-risk space and you are tired of payment partners who disappear when things get complicated, come and find us. We would love to talk through how you take and hold payments today, where the friction is, and what a setup built around your industry could look like.
Whether you are an established platform or just getting started, the conversation is worth having. No pitch decks required.
Come say hello
Gerardo, Annabel, and Leena will be at SX Festival & Expo 2026 in Berlin from 26 to 28 June. To set up a meeting in advance, reach out through our contact page or message us directly and we will get something in the diary.
Berlin, we will see you there.
