Razer has partnered with Visa to create a Razer Visa Prepaid card, This will allow users to add funds and make purchases more easily when using Razer Pay. Razer Pay is the company's app,which handles mobile payments, and with this partnership, Razer's 60 million users will be able to access payment options across 54 million locations that accept visa. The card was created to serve customers who don't already have bank accounts.
Currently, the card is virtual but the partnership is not ruling out the possibility of creating a physical card.
Razer has continued to show that its operating strategy is not solely focused on hardware, and the company continues to show interest in fintech markets. The Razer Pay expansion is a logical step for the company, who serves a market where purchasing in-game credits is common practice.
