    TapNation Gains €15M Funding, Accelerating its Momentum in the Mobile Gaming Industry

    Paris, November 06, 2023 – Since its establishment in 2019 by Hervé Montoute and Igor Zabukovec, TapNation, the Paris-based mobile gaming publisher, has demonstrated an exemplary growth trajectory swiftly becoming one of the industry’s top global players. This momentum is further solidified with a recent €15 million funding round.

    A significant factor behind TapNation’s success is its innovative technological platform. This platform enables game testing, player behavior analysis, and the identification of the most promising gameplays. Thanks to these capabilities, an astonishing 30 of their games have been ranked among the global top hits, amassing a total of a billion downloads across app stores.

    Recently, TapNation diversified its scope by introducing TN Labs, a specialized game development studio. This move is in line with the firm’s strategy to broaden its game offerings, particularly towards more hybrid genres.

    The company’s achievements have not gone unnoticed. It secured its position among the “Top 20 Worldwide Mobile Game Publishers” and was recognized in the French Tech 120 program, an initiative celebrating French startups with significant global technological potential.

    With the commitment and expertise of its fifty-member team, TapNation registered an impressive €45 million in revenue in 2022, marking its third consecutive year of profitability.

    This fresh infusion of capital, generously contributed by notable investors such as Re-Sources Capital, Paluel-Marmont Capital, and select banking partners, is anticipated to diversify TapNation’s portfolio and bolster its growth strategy. It’s also expected to enhance the company’s technological edge.

    Hervé Montoute, co-founder and leader of Tap Nation, commented, “With this fundraising of 15 million euros, we are at a pivotal moment in our journey as a mobile game publisher. This investment is proof of the faith our partners have in our vision and our ability to innovate. It will enable us to go even further, explore new territories in the mobile gaming industry, and continue to offer exceptional experiences to our players. We are very grateful to our investors for their support, and we are excited to share our passion for mobile games with the world.”

  • iQor Qares Launches ‘Opening Doors to Education’ School Supply Donation

    iQor Qares Launches ‘Opening Doors to Education’ School Supply Donation

    iQor Qares in the Philippines recently donated school bags and school supplies to elementary schools as part of an initiative to empower young students and create awareness about the importance of education. iQor Qares Philippines Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization that supports iQor employees, their families, and their communities in need of financial assistance due to life-altering or catastrophic events.

    Kevin Murphy, Vice President of Operations at iQor, shares smiles with the students of Monicayo Elementary School in Mabalacat, Pampanga, as they receive school bags and supplies from the iQor Qares Foundation.

    The board of directors of iQor Qares Philippines Foundation and the steering committee worked together to gather donations from employees and enlisted the assistance of the senior leadership and human resources teams to pack the school bags. The administrative team delivered the school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, dictionaries, whiteboards, markers, modeling clay, rulers, and protractors, to the following schools:

    • Angeles City, Pampanga – Cutcut Elementary School

    • Mabalacat, Pampanga – Monicayo Elementary School

    • Santa Rosa City, Laguna – Macabling Elementary School

    • Dasmariñas City, Cavite – Paliparan 3 Relocation Site through the Kristong Hari Parish

    “It was a wonderful experience having not only our senior leaders from the Philippines take part but also our chief operations officer and the other country leads from Trinidad, Colombia, and India all lend a hand to pack 500 school bags for distribution here,” said Kevin Murphy, vice president of operations. “Seeing the impact iQor Qares has had on so many really puts a smile on my face, and our team values what our organization is doing for employees and our community at the same time.”

    Since early 2023, iQor Qares has provided financial assistance to iQor employees in the Philippines who have faced life-altering events and hardships. The organization also believes in giving back to the communities in which iQor operates, especially focusing on supporting public elementary school students and addressing the challenges many children face in accessing quality education.

    “By rolling up their sleeves and actively engaging in the event, senior leadership exemplified the very essence of being an iQorian by setting a tangible and inspiring example for all employees. Their presence and participation sent a clear message that the company’s values are not just words on paper but deeply ingrained in our actions,” said James Down, senior director of

    operations.

    “The ‘Opening Doors to Education’ project reflects our commitment to making education accessible and inspiring students to prioritize their learning. By offering school supplies, the initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden on families who struggle to afford basic educational materials. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for students to build their confidence and self-esteem. We hope that this project will inspire more people to contribute and initiate similar projects, ultimately creating a positive impact on education in the regions where iQor operates,” said Fleurette Navarro, chief people officer at iQor and chairperson of iQor Qares Philippines Foundation.

    iQor employees join iQor Qares Foundation’s “Opening Doors to Education” project school supplies drive in Pampanga, Laguna and Cavite

  • Juniper honors payment tokenization solution from G+D and Netcetera with Future Digital Award

    Juniper honors payment tokenization solution from G+D and Netcetera with Future Digital Award

    Munich, October 5, 2023 – Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and Netcetera are once again winners of the Juniper Future Digital Award for their joint solution eCOM Tokenizer, in the Fraud and Security Innovation category. In addition, G+D has been recognized by Juniper as an “Established Leader” in the latest “Competitor Leaderboard Report” for the network tokenization market, further affirming their expertise in this space.

    Each year, Juniper Research presents the Future Digital Awards to companies for innovative solutions that have the potential to change their industry and provide their target groups with decisive advantages. This year G+D and Netcetera once again prevailed in the category of “Fraud and Security Innovation: Payment Tokenization Solution” for their joint solution eCOM Tokenizer. Powered by network tokenization the solution impressed the jury with its scalability and platform-agnostic and future-proof approach. Furthermore, how it paves the way for the latest innovations, enhancing the online checkout experience by enabling features like Click to Pay for guest checkout. 

    E-commerce’s remarkable growth can be largely attributed to its unparalleled convenience. However, this convenience has significantly raised customer expectations as well as fraud risks. This has an immediate impact on all financial players in the e-commerce market. The only way to success is to improve every aspect of the customer journey.

    The award-winning solution works invisibly behind e-commerce transactions and combines the highest levels of security with a seamless customer experience. It converts sensitive card data into digital and encrypted pseudonyms called tokens, eliminating the need for merchants to store sensitive information. Therefore, card data is secure and protected from fraud. It also fosters convenience by automatically updating payment card credentials even when the card expires or needs to be reissued. The results are greater customer satisfaction, increased sales, reduced security risk and higher payment card approval rates.

    Among the companies using the eCOM Tokenizer solution is one of the largest acquirers in Latin America. With operations in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Europe, the company provides global high-tech payment solutions that enable businesses to securely accept payments while providing their customers with an optimal checkout experience. In optimizing their e-commerce payment experiences the eCOM Tokenizer solution plays a vital role.

    “Customers in the digital age expect security but not at the cost of convenience – and payments are no exception. A frustrating checkout experience often leads to abandoned carts and lost loyalty”, said Jukka Yliuntinen, Head of Digital Payment Solutions at G+D. “Together with our strategic partner Netcetera, we understand the importance of balancing online checkout security and a smooth user experience.”

    In addition to the Future Digital Award, G+D has also received another accolade from Jupiter Research. In its latest “Competitor Leaderboard Report” for the network tokenization market, the market researcher lists G+D as an “Established Leader” – and positions the company right after the three major schemes. 

    About Giesecke+Devrient

    Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) is a global security technology group headquartered in Munich. As a trusted partner to customers with the highest demands, G+D secures the essential values of the world with its solutions.

  • Filipino MSMEs can now tap into international markets through Shopee’s #TatakPinoy International

    Filipino MSMEs can now tap into international markets through Shopee’s #TatakPinoy International

    MANILA, PHILIPPINES (5 October 2023) – Shopee is breaking down barriers and opening up new horizons for Filipino Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with the launch of #TatakPinoy International. This groundbreaking initiative empowers local sellers to expand their business and connect with international customers, strengthening the global presence of Filipino brands. It will also empower Filipino entrepreneurs and artisans to showcase their talents and products to an international audience, promoting Philippine culture, craftsmanship, and ingenuity globally. This free program will be available first to Shopee’s markets in Singapore and Malaysia.

    #TatakPinoy International represents a significant stride towards Shopee’s mission of empowering Filipino businesses in the digital era by giving them opportunities to grow, develop, and reach a wider audience. This can be seen in Shopee’s efforts through their various services and features, such as Shopee Live, Shopee Affiliates, and Shopee University, which offer sellers an avenue to learn how to start their e-commerce business, upscale their brand, and form tight-knit communities with KOLs and buyers simultaneously.

    “Shopee’s core mission has consistently been to support the growth and success of Filipino entrepreneurs. We’re excited about their potential to expand their presence globally through #TatakPinoy International. This underlines our unwavering dedication to fostering local economic growth and forging sustainable opportunities for our community of local MSMEs. We will remain committed to harnessing the transformative potential of technology to facilitate long-term growth for our Filipino sellers,” shared Vincent Lee, Head of Shopee Philippines.

    #TatakPinoy International will soon be open to all Shopee sellers, promising a shopping experience with seamless cross-border logistics support. This is similar to its present system, yet with a broader reach. It will help Filipino sellers connect with overseas buyers, which Shopee and its third-party logistics partners will process to fulfill the order successfully. Shopee sellers and brands can maintain their local selling experience but can now reach a wider buyer pool and higher order volume to expand their consumer base to Shopee users in other markets. Shopee’s new program is a significant development for the Philippine e-commerce market and aligns with the Philippines’ broader economic goals. It is expected to benefit local sellers and enhance cultural exchange and collaboration across Southeast Asia.

    In my opinion, the article stated above related to the launch of #TatakPinoy International will give an opportunity to Filipino Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with ease of doing business to customers locally and internationally with a purpose of strengthening Filipino brands globally.
