- Tamara operates in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, offering flexible buy now, pay later (BNPL) options that serve more than 15 million users in two of the Middle East’s highest-spending markets, where BNPL adoption rates reach 31–42% among consumers, making it a preferred online payment method
- M-Pesa in Tanzania, unlocking access to the country's leading mobile money ecosystems with over 26 million accounts - representing about 40% of the market

These integrations provide a localized, frictionless checkout experience, enabling players to pay in familiar currencies and with trusted local methods, thereby increasing confidence and improving conversion rates for in-game purchases. For game developers, this translates into expanded global reach across emerging and high-growth markets while simplifying operations and removing the need for local infrastructure or custom payment integrations.
“Localized payments are one of the most powerful drivers of conversion and growth for video game developers,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “By expanding our payment coverage across 18 markets, we’re giving developers all the things they need to reach players with the payment methods they already trust without adding complexity to their operations.”
