Xsolla has announced an expansion to its payment solutions in Portugal, adding MB Way. "Bringing a new payment method to Portugal isn't just about ticking a box; it's about recognizing the local preferences," said Chris Hewish, President of ​Xsolla. "When players feel the payment flow is native to them, adoption accelerates and retention strengthens."

With nearly 90% of its population online, high smartphone usage and strong adoption of mobile banking, Portugal is a leader in digital transformation. "Trusted by 6 million people, connected to 11 million cards, supported by 28 banks, and driving 496 million transactions in 2024, MB Way provides 95% market coverage, allowing most bank customers to use the service. MB Way is the leading mobile wallet in Portugal, with an estimated market share of 34%-45 % of all e-commerce transactions locally," Xsolla says.​

Xsolla is a global video game commerce company that connects developers and publishers with local payment methods. This enables them to reach more players, drive more conversions, and grow their revenue from Europe to the rest of the world.
