In 2012, Christian Ribeiro and Fernanda Domingues worked together on the implementation of game monetization in LATAM for Steam, the platform of Valve L.L.C. The solution enabled Steam’s games to be purchased in Real, Brazil’s currency.
In 2020, they are reviving the partnership to meet the demand created by new digital distribution in game platforms.
“The bank payment slip (Boleto) is one of the singularities of Brazilian’s market. This type of payment only exists in Brazil. We are able to compensate it in minutes, which is really important for the gamers, because they don’t want to wait a day to play”, says Christian Ribeiro, CEO of Levpay.
Fernanda Domingues, CEO of FD Comunicacao, who has been operating in the disclosure of gaming in LATAM for 23 years, adds that “studying the market, we came to the conclusion that in the current scenario, filled with battle royale games, where every publisher creates its own distribution platform, it’s not enough to just offer the payment methods, it’s important to communicate efficiently”.
Solution Meets demand of Game Monetization in LATAM
To meet the demand, they are launching a service of game monetization in LATAM, boosted by marketing actions that speaks directly to the gamers.
The premium package services include instantaneous and standard payment methods (Bank Payment Slip Express, Deposit Express and Credit Card) and marketing actions (public relations, social media management, campaigns with influencers, paid media and events).
