Following an integration with Global Payments Inc., AviaGames Inc., a skills-based mobile-game developer, is making it easier for U.S. Visa cardholders to receive payouts.
San Francisco-based AviaGames says the Global Payments integration gives eligible U.S. players the ability to receive payouts directly to their eligible Visa cards, a service that is available now. Visa Direct is the payment network’s real-time payments service. Global Payments is providing the infrastructure to enable the payouts.
The integration and enablement of Visa Direct will reduce payout friction, AviaGames says. “Avia’s players can seamlessly receive their payouts and continue playing without needing to navigate a separate or unfamiliar payment process,” a statement says.
Payouts are important to AviaGames’ players, says Vickie Chen, AviaGames chief executive and cofounder. AviaGames’ suite of apps includes ones based on solitaire, bingo, pool, and dominoes. The company says there have been more than 80 million downloads of its apps.
Visa Direct launched in 2011 and has expanded over time to have global availability and to reduce payout times.
