  "account": "Ebanx has partnered with NetEase Games Club to enhance payment access for Latin America's video game community. In a press release dated Sept. 28, the cross-border payments firm stated that millions of players in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Peru have faced barriers to purchasing game content due to payment limitations. By collaborating with NetEase, Ebanx will offer players within these five countries access to local payment methods such as Pix in Brazil, SPEI in Mexico, PagoEfectivo in Peru, and the digital wallet Mercado Pago across Latin America. Furthermore, credit and debit cards will also be accepted. The World Bank data reveals that only 25% of Latin American adults possess credit cards, while over half of individuals aged 15 and above have conducted digital payments. According to PYMNTS Intelligence research, these digital payments accounted for 48% of eCommerce transaction value and 30% of in-store transaction value in Latin America in 2024, marking a significant increase from just 14% and 2% in 2014. Experts predict that these shares will continue to rise to 66% and 49% respectively by 2030. Sebastian Fantini, Ebanx's director of product, discussed the significance of payment bundles in addressing fragmentation, which can hinder cross-border expansion due to the need for separate integrations for each new market and method. Fantini explained that each country within Latin America possesses its unique payment ecosystem, players, payment methods, and maturity levels. Ebanx's payment bundles consolidate over 200 supported payment methods into four distinct groups based on \"technical architecture and strategic purpose.\" This approach connects reusable integration patterns to clear business objectives, such as expanding card reach, acquiring customers beyond card payments, enabling recurring revenue, and connecting consumers to trusted wallets and banking apps. Ultimately, the payment bundle integration acts as a growth strategy.",
