PAYMENT LABS NAMED PROUD SPONSOR AND PAYMENT PLATFORM PARTNER OF INTENNSE TENNIS LEAGUE

Fintech Platform to Expedite Player Payouts and Streamline Operations as the Emerging Atlanta-Based League More Than Triples in Size

LOS ANGELES & ATLANTA, CA, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Payment Labs, the global fintech solution specializing in sports, today announced an official partnership with INTENNSE, the team-based, fast-paced, co-ed tennis league built for players and fans. Payment Labs becomes a proud sponsor of INTENNSE as well as the payment platform partner of the league. The league, which plays all its matches at the INTENNSE Arena in Atlanta, is entering its second season and has expanded from three to ten teams.

How INTENNSE is Scaling with Payment Labs Fintech:
For INTENNSE players, the Payment Labs partnership solves one of the most frustrating pain points in professional sports: delayed compensation. Instead of waiting months until the end of the year for checks from matches, athletes will receive their prize money winnings with speed and reliability. Payment Labs’ vertically integrated, purpose-built tech stack replaces manual workflows with a streamlined and compliant solution that gives emerging leagues like INTENNSE the time and space to scale.

The Partnership’s Immediate Local Impact:
Payment Labs technology will play an important role in the INTENNSE Challenge Series, presented by BOAST, a play-in qualifying opportunity that runs all season long and features high-intensity competition from group play to shootout rounds and ultimately a pro-level showcase with prize money available for the winners of every round. Athletes vying for their share of the $10,500 in weekly prize money will be able to be paid onsite.
The INTENNSE season kicks off with a highly anticipated match on Friday, June 5 at 5:00 p.m. when the OUTRIDERS will take on the FORTUNE at the INTENNSE Arena. Payment Labs will present the prize money to the winning team that evening.

Payment Labs’ Growing Partner Portfolio:
INTENNSE joins a growing list of emerging sports leagues partnering with Payment Labs to support their rapid scale including X Games, The Snow League, Arnold Sports, AVP, APP, PDGA, and more.
