Following this announcement, the payment methods will include Fawry Cash, Aman, Masary, Momken, Vodafone Wallet, and Orange Cash Wallet, as well as Mobile & Banking Wallets in Egypt, Sadad in Saudi Arabia, eFAWATEERcom in Jordan, and STC Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) in Bahrain.
The expansion reflects Xsolla’s commitment to providing game developers and publishers with the needed tools to navigate and develop in the rapidly growing and challenging market across multiple geographic regions worldwide.
As the MENA region represents one of the fastest-growing gaming markets across the globe, developers and publishers that are looking to tap into it also face unique challenges and difficulties. These include payment accelibility, a lack of local options, as well as low trust in non-regional methods that have all hindered market growth.
In order to address these challenges, Xsolla is introducing trusted and widely used transaction methods that were tailored to the needs of MENA gamers. These include a broad payment access (the company will support 11 new local payment methods, ensuring secure transactions while also enhancing accessibility), preferred regional payment methods, a mobile-first approach (Xsolla will continue to support mobile wallets and carrier billing in order to ensure accessibility for MENA’s mobile-dominant gaming audience), and revenue growth for developers (the firm will expand local payment options in order to allow developers and publishers to tap into a fast-growing player base, as well as drive increased and secure transactions).
