Avia Collaborates with Visa and Global Payments for Direct Player Payouts to Eligible Visa Cards

First Skill-Based Mobile Gaming Company to Integrate Visa Direct, Aiming to Provide More Convenient, Reliable and Trusted Payouts

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AviaGames, a leader in casual, skill-based mobile games, is collaborating with Visa, a world leader in digital payments, and Global Payments®, a leading payment technology and software company, to give eligible U.S. players the ability to receive payouts from Avia’s mobile games directly to their eligible Visa cards. The integration is now available for players.

This collaboration serves as an important step forward in Avia’s efforts to establish transparent and convenient payouts to players. With the new integration, players can compete, win and easily access their payouts, all backed by an established and credible global payment network. Avia’s players can seamlessly receive their payouts and continue playing without needing to navigate a separate or unfamiliar payment process.

“When our players win, we want them to access their payouts with confidence,” stated Vickie Chen, CEO and Co-Founder of AviaGames. “We are very excited to make this possible with Visa and its widely recognized payment network.”

Visa Direct enables gaming operators to provide fast and secure real-time* payouts to players through a trusted global network, turning payouts from a friction point into a competitive advantage, while Global Payments, AviaGames’ Payment Service Provider, provides the payment infrastructure through which AviaGames has integrated Visa Direct.

“The payout experience is becoming an increasingly important part of the customer journey,” said Phil Pomford, executive lead, Enterprise APAC at Global Payments. “We are helping deliver a seamless payout experience that allows players to receive their winnings through familiar and trusted payment methods. This collaboration reflects our commitment to helping businesses enhance the customer experience through modern, reliable payout solutions.”

AviaGames is a female-founded mobile gaming company paving the future of skill-based competitive gaming and player-first experiences. Quick to play and quick to win, Avia’s titles have garnered over 80M downloads globally, with notable games such as Solitaire Clash, 8 Ball Strike and Bingo Tour.

AviaGames’ titles are available to download for free on iOS and Galaxy Store. For more information, please visit Avia on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Instagram.

*Actual fund availability for all Visa Direct transactions may depend on receiving financial institution, account type, region, compliance processes, along with other factors, as applicable.
