Payment Gateway & PSP Integration in Lithuania: market overview
Lithuania issues many EU e-money and payment licences, so fintechs there need payment, IBAN and compliance platforms. Within that market, payment gateway & PSP integration is one of the engagements we are asked for most often.
Demand is strongest across EMI & payments, Fintech and Crypto, and every engagement is shaped by local regulation, payment habits and working hours rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

How key sectors in Lithuania use payment gateway & PSP integration
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for EMI & payments
EMI & payments businesses in Lithuania usually need high approval rates, local payment methods, payouts and automated reconciliation. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with subscriptions & invoicing (recurring billing, dunning and proration) and adds reconciliation as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on authorisation rate and cost per transaction.
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for Fintech
Fintech businesses in Lithuania usually need secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with 3ds2 & fraud rules (strong customer authentication with risk-based exemptions) and adds multi-psp orchestration as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for Crypto
Crypto businesses in Lithuania usually need licence-ready custody, transaction monitoring, wallet security and clear user disclosures. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with reconciliation (settlement matching, fees and chargeback tracking in one ledger) and adds local payment methods as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on deposit-to-trade conversion and withdrawal processing time.
Example: payment gateway & PSP integration for a emi & payments business in Kaunas
Consider a emi & payments company in Kaunas (engineering and it companies). A typical payment gateway & PSP integration engagement would start with subscriptions & invoicing, then 3ds2 & fraud rules, and finish the first release with reconciliation — usually within 2–4 weeks.
Payments would run through SEPA Instant, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on authorisation rate, cost per transaction and payout time.
Example: payment gateway & PSP integration for a emi & payments business in Vilnius
Consider a emi & payments company in Vilnius (emis, fintechs and shared-services centres). A typical payment gateway & PSP integration engagement would start with multi-psp orchestration, then local payment methods, and finish the first release with marketplace payouts — usually within 2–4 months.
Payments would run through CENTROlink, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on authorisation rate, cost per transaction and payout time.
