By GlobalDataThe partnership will enable MTC Game to adopt a multi-acquirer payments model that is expected to provide additional growth opportunities in Africa.
Furthermore, CellPoint’s intelligent routing, growing authorisations, and system uptime transparency is expected to help the firm grow its top-line revenue.
The tie-up will also help MTC Game bring down its operational cost of accepting cross border payments.
CellPoint Digital CEO Kristian Gjerding commented: “By partnering with MTC Game, we are helping our new partner with its expansion plans. The video game sector has always felt like a natural extension of our success in the gambling and retail industries, and we are excited to disrupt payments in this dynamic vertical.”
In January this year, CellPoint raised $25m in an equity financing round to accelerate its global expansion and support its entry to new markets.
