LAS VEGAS (July 16, 2024) – Las Vegas-based payments specialist Koin has partnered with TribalValue, a division of TribalHub, trusted facilitator for technological advancement within tribal communities, to broaden access to cutting-edge digital payments technologies for tribal populations across the United States.
This vital collaboration aims to bridge technological gaps, aligning with TribalValue’s mission to connect tribal entities with trusted partners who offer exclusive deals and special offers tailored specifically for tribal organizations – a commitment it has consistently delivered on for more than two decades.
Koin, creators of advanced digital payments 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 promote Koin’s technology to tribal organizations, utilizing their understanding of the tribal environment, and the unique needs and challenges faced by tribal organizations.
“Integrating digital payment technologies into the gaming and entertainment sectors has been pivotal in advancing the wider move toward cashless systems,” said Gary Larkin, Koin co-founder and president. “With TribalHub’s extensive network and their decades of building partnerships, we’re eager to bring this essential functionality to a broader audience.”
“TribalValue aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of tribal organizations by facilitating connections with industry partners,” said Mike Day, executive officer for TribalHub. “Partners like Koin understand the needs of tribes and the importance of leveraging the combined strength of tribes to secure favorable deals.”
TribalHub offers a variety of services and resources specifically designed for tribal technology leaders. Established over 25 years ago, the organization provides networking opportunities, educational events, consulting, and tailored resources for those working in Native American tribes, tribal governments, health facilities, and their enterprises. TribalValue, a division of TribalHub, acts as a bridge connecting tribes with trusted industry partners, offering exclusive deals and special offers tailored for tribal organizations.
Larkin added, “This partnership marks another step towards expanding the reach of cashless solutions in our daily lives and, importantly, ensures that more communities can benefit from the fully integrated digital economy.”
The partnership marks a year of significant achievements for both organizations. Koin recently secured reinvestment from partner and global payments leader Euronet Worldwide, Inc., expanded collaborations with sister company Marker Trax, and is set to further raise industry awareness of its technology at October’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, TribalHub is celebrating the successful launch of the TribalValue portal to enhance service offerings to tribal enterprises and the expansion of the annual TribalNet Conference & Tradeshow, now the largest event of its kind dedicated to tribal technology and leadership.
