Powered By Mastercard’s Redemptions Solutions, Xsolla Pay With Points Will Be Available For Alior Bank Mastercard Cardholders
Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, and Mastercard are bringing their partnership to Poland for the first time through Alior Bank. Mastercard cardholders with Alior Bank can now use Xsolla Pay with Points to redeem their loyalty points for in-game purchases directly in Xsolla’s Pay Station. Enabled by Mastercard’s digital redemptions capabilities, this integration will allow gamers to pay with loyalty points in a simple and secure way.
The gaming industry is growing rapidly, with the global number of gamers reaching new heights year after year. However, in-game payments remain an area with room for improvement. Over 40% of consumers report needing assistance with purchasing in-game currency, and over 30% feel that making purchases in online games involves too many steps.
