US-based online payment systems developer SafetyPay has entered an agreement with PlaySpan, a US provider of monetisation services for online games.

As part of the deal, PlaySpan’s UltimatePay Merchants will integrate SafetyPay as an online payment option for digital goods and service.

SafetyPay enables online shoppers from Central and South America to pay for goods and services in local currencies via their online bank accounts without using debit or credit cards.

In recent news, SafetyPay has joined forces with HSBC Bank Brazil to extend SafetyPay’s online payment services to the bank’s account holders and small and medium sized business customers, enabling them to pay online for purchases with worldwide merchants using their own currency.
