Swarmio Media Holdings Inc. and Universal Pin announced a partnership whereby UniPin will enable its in-game digital content to be purchased directly in Swarmio's Ember gaming and esports platform. The in-game digital content, which includes in-game accessories, skins and other digital products, will be made available for gamers to purchase in the Ember platform via direct top-up mechanism, using various payment channels such as credit card, gamer e-wallet and direct carrier billing (DCB). This synergistic partnership creates multiple benefits to Swarmio, UniPin and Ember platform users.

Benefits to Ember Platform Users: Gamers using the Ember platform will now enjoy a more streamlined direct top-up purchasing experience when buying in-game digital content. This Partnership enables gamers to buy in-game digital content directly from the Ember platform's online store and simultaneously redeem it in their chosen games, eliminating extra validation steps such as entering a PIN or code. A shorter and faster paying mechanism enables gamers to return to their game within a split second, creating a seamless purchasing and playing experience.

With E-wallet and direct carrier billing (DCB) widely accepted as a mode of payment for the direct-top up mechanism, gamers also have more payment options to choose from. Benefits to UniPin and Swarmio: The combination of UniPin's direct top-up service and Swarmio's aggregation service of e-wallet and DCB channels eliminates extra steps in the payment settlement process for in-game digital content and allows UniPin to tap into new and promising gaming markets, specifically Asia, Africa, the Middle East and LATAM. These markets have previously been under-served by game publishers and digital content providers due to gamers in these regions having limited access to traditional bank accounts and/or credit cards.
