Satispay at Be Comics! Be Games! 2026: the pop festival with 30,000 visitors

App payments, a dedicated lounge, charging area and networking: the tech company with more than 6 million users brings digital innovation to the heart of pop culture

Milan, 16 March 2026

Satispay, the super-app that makes money and financial-service management simple and accessible, is the payment provider for Be Comics! Be Games! 2026 — the pop festival that Fandango Club Creators has organized for five years and that today represents a landmark event for North-East Italy — which will bring halls 7 and 8 and gallery 78 at Padova Hall to life on 21 and 22 March. The event brings together the principal forms of contemporary pop culture — from comics to manga, gaming to esports, board games to cosplay and K-pop — and stands out for its strong connection with the local area where it originated.

As an expression of a new culture of financial and money management, in addition to the simple payments that are a hallmark of the app, Satispay will welcome visitors from throughout Italy and its large North-East community, which already numbers more than 620,000 users in the area, to the Satispay Lounge. The lounge will offer a charging zone and networking area, available free of charge throughout the event.

Satispay

Founded in 2015, Satispay is the super-app and proprietary payment network that makes money and financial-service management simple and accessible. With a constantly growing community of 6 million people, the platform allows users to pay by smartphone (at in-store and online merchants), exchange money free of charge and access numerous value-added services: the Cashback Points loyalty program, Buy Now Pay Later to split everyday expenses into 3 interest-free instalments, mobile top-ups, payment of slips, car and motorcycle road tax, PagoPA, gift cards, Donations and savings. After consolidating its B2C experience, Satispay extended its model to the B2B world. In September 2023, it entered corporate welfare with the innovative Satispay Meal Vouchers and Fringe Benefits, followed by the Satispay FlexBen platform, which simplifies the management of reimbursements and pension funds. In just over two years, Satispay has established itself as one of the sector's leading operators, with more than 40,000 client companies already, offering their employees next-generation welfare tools that are simple and quick to use, as well as one of Italy's broadest acceptance networks (more than 400,000 participating in-store and online merchants). And finally, Satispay expanded its offering with the Investments section and Invested Money Box, making investing accessible even to those approaching capital markets for the first time.
