Finance & Gaming

An Argentine app is taking the gaming community by storm, offering a diverse range of financial services tailored to the gaming segment.

N1u, founded by three young entrepreneurs, aims to provide financial services to the identified 9 million gaming fans in Argentina.

Positioned as a Payment Service Provider, this fintech self-brands as the “gamer wallet,” allowing users under 18 to register with parental consent. The founders highlight that “7 out of 10 gamers lack access to a credit card,” expressing their disbelief at the significant number of young individuals still excluded from the financial system. They are confident that N1u will transform the way young people engage with finances and revolutionize the region.

While the app caters to the general public, it places a special focus on users under 25. What sets it apart from similar applications is the integration of gaming capabilities, enabling users to play while conducting financial transactions.

N1u offers an array of services, including wallet-to-wallet transfers, utility bill payments, and cryptocurrency transactions. Emphasizing gamification to appeal to a sports-centric audience, the app introduces a loyalty program based on gaming dynamics.

Users gain access to an international prepaid VISA card for in-store and online purchases. Additionally, the app facilitates seamless and instant transactions for sending/receiving money between users, bank accounts, and virtual accounts, all free of charge. It also supports the buying and selling of digital assets, game purchases, bill payments, mobile phone top-ups, and transportation card reloads.

Against the backdrop of Argentina’s high inflation, N1u provides a valuable service by enabling users to invest in Mutual Funds with remarkably low minimum amounts. In this innovative intersection of finance and gaming, N1u emerges as a groundbreaking solution addressing the financial needs of a previously underserved segment within the country.
