UOL BoaCompra will now support Ubisoft's growth throughout
Latin America, Portugal, Spain and Turkey by allowing gamers greater access with
the local payment methods they use most. While Latin America and Turkey represent the fastest growing markets
for online games, they are also challenging markets to break into,
until recently. UOL BoaCompra enables large foreign and regional
game developers and publishers quick and easy access to this large,
profitable and rapidly expanding market.
"We are happy to work with BoaCompra to offer the best service
to our online gamers and consolidate our growth in Latin America, including our promising digital
portfolio," said Bertrand Chaverot, Ubisoft's Managing Director for
Latin America.
"With titles such as Ghost Recon Phantoms,
Might & Magic Duel of Champions, and The Crew, among
others, Ubisoft is known for producing outstanding online titles;
and Latin America and Turkey are no exception for the prevalence of
this strong reputation," said Julian
Migura, Director of Global Business Development for UOL
BoaCompra. "We're looking forward to supporting Ubisoft's reach by
offering local payment methods gamers have access to, which is
paramount in emerging markets."
In addition to providing payments throughout LATAM, Portugal, Spain and Turkey, UOL BoaCompra will heavily promote
Ubisoft's titles in Brazil through
UOL's content portals.
