Zytara, a FinTech company has announced its plans to launch a first-of-its-kind digital banking platform for gamers and esports enthusiasts. The banking system is set to offer financial solutions embedded deep in the gaming industry, which will include a checking and savings account, a virtual and physical debit card, and access to investing tools. The mobile app launching will also offer unique tools tailored to gamers and esports fans, including limited-edition branded cards and automated payments for online gaming tournaments, player-to-player transfers and parental controls if necessary.
Al Burgio, the Founder and CEO at Zytara spoke about the new service saying; "Zytara brings a disruption opportunity that combines all of the capabilities of a regular bank account, with an array of features that gamers and esports enthusiasts can embrace as their own."
He continued on saying; "Esports may still be maturing but as the industry is growing in force and reach, it doesn't have a dedicated and tailored to gamers banking and payment processing solution. With over 20% of global gamers aged under 18, and a market that continues to grow, a payment solution that also supports under 18 users is long overdue. We're thrilled to be bringing our platform to market - but that's really just the start of the journey for us."
Hopefully, this new system will eliminate a few of the concerns currently plaguing esports, such as lack of integrations, lack of a purpose-built payment network, and a limited customer service experience for people in the industry.
The banking platform is set to launch in early 2021.
