NetEase Games Club Partners EBANX for Local Payments
NetEase Games Club has partnered with EBANX to enable local payment methods in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. The integration includes Pix, SPEI, PagoEfectivo, and Mercado Pago, aiming to streamline purchases for players. Pix is used by about 96% of Brazil's adult population, while 60 million Brazilians lack credit cards. PagoEfectivo reaches 64% of Peru's adults, and SPEI over 50% in Mexico. The payment methods will be available in titles like Where Winds Meet and Marvel Rivals. Based on EBANX data, the five markets are projected to generate $8.4 billion in games revenue by end of year, with Brazil contributing $3.8 billion. The partnership targets the growing Latin American gaming market and its local payment preferences.
Partnership expands payment options for a major game publisher, boosting accessibility in key Latin American markets, but is not industry-shifting.
