VaultN and Paysafe Partner to Launch Real-Time B2B Payments for Game Distribution

Game distribution infrastructure provider VaultN has announced a partnership with global payments platform Paysafe to launch VaultN Payments & Wallet. The new feature integrates embedded B2B payments, treasury services, and compliance management directly into the distribution process, and Take-Two Interactive is among the first major publishers to adopt the platform.

Built on Paysafe's Skrill Business platform, the solution allows publishers and retailers to settle digital distribution transactions in real time at the exact moment of fulfillment. Historically, distribution and payments in the games supply chain operated as separate layers, meaning product transfers did not trigger immediate financial settlements.

According to VaultN CEO Emrah Kara, the games industry transitioned to digital distribution, but the backend operations remained unchanged. Kara noted that publishers have continued to chase invoices while retailers reconcile payments manually. The new platform aims to merge distribution, settlement, and data intelligence into a single environment to give partners control over the commercial lifecycle.

Paysafe's Skrill Business platform provides the regulated compliance and payment layer. This setup enables companies to receive, hold, and move funds across a multicurrency wallet. The platform holds regulatory licenses across the United States, the United Kingdom, and the EU/EEA, offering integrated foreign exchange, treasury services, and liquidity management.

Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, stated that combining Skrill's payment and wallet infrastructure with VaultN's gaming-specific technology offers a faster, lower-risk way for companies to conduct business. The companies hope the service will lower barriers for publishers and retailers looking to expand into international markets where complex payment regulations and financial risks previously made expansion difficult.
