Xsolla recently expanded its digital reach by adding Airtel Money as a payment option in Tanzania and Madagascar. This strategic move strengthens the presence of Xsolla across the African continent. Consequently, local players gain access to a secure and mobile-first checkout experience.
Mobile money is today still a vital tool for breaking through daily life in Africa. Besides that, it is a major contributor to the concept of financial inclusion for millions of people in these areas. High mobile penetration rates make Tanzania and Madagascar ideal for this digital shift. Airtel Money allows users to pay for games using only their mobile phone numbers.
“Mobile money is redefining how players across Africa pay for digital entertainment,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “By expanding Airtel Money coverage to more countries, we’re helping developers meet players where they are, offering fast, secure, and familiar payment experiences that make gaming more accessible to everyone,” he added.
Enhancing Global Gaming Access
The integration has many advantages, among them being the instant payment confirmations. Players carry out transactions in real time and thus, the use of physical bank cards is out of the question. They rather go for the Airtel app or USSD codes for direct payments. This simple method reduces friction during the checkout process.
Xsolla continues to position itself as a leading fintech partner for the global gaming industry. This expansion proves their commitment to localized payment solutions. Therefore, developers can now reach millions of active Airtel users in these emerging markets. Moreover, the mission ensures that any player can pay and play seamlessly from anywhere.
