To be able to offer their customers secure and convenient payment options, more and more companies in the games industry rely on services from Wirecard AG. Whether for online role-playing games (MMOGs), game downloads, the distribution of console games or the sending of money between consumers (P2P): Everything revolves around how the consumer can pay conveniently and securely.
And that is not all: Through its own call center, the Wirecard Communication division offers user advice and support from qualified experts. They answer not only questions about activation codes and installations, but also help with valuable tips and tricks. Email support and chat forums round out the offering.
For the first time, Wirecard AG is also presenting itself in the consumer area of the Games Convention.
Anyone who enters the glowing red cube – which is at the center of the trade-fair appearance – plays along! Because for those who do not have a credit card, unfortunately all too often even before the start it means: Game over! Wirecard creates new rules of the game here. The Internet payment service is based on a virtual prepaid MasterCard from Wirecard Bank AG and, through the credit-balance function, is also available to consumers who were previously denied access to credit cards.
“The Games Convention is one of the most important European trade fairs for us. Numerous exhibitors have benefited for years from our services relating to call centers and payment transactions. We now also offer new solutions to consumers. Registering at mywirecard.com opens up the world of online games to consumers quickly and simply. Paid downloads or the purchase of console games on the Internet are thus also possible without a conventional credit card”, says Heiko Strauss, Head of Media Sales at Wirecard AG.
“Meet the cube” under this motto, the doors to a new dimension in payment transactions open to all gaming enthusiasts. Simply play with Wirecard: Move your money!
