Since launching in 2011, the company has

stores and Paymentez aims to double that figure by the end of
2012.
“The rapid rate of acceptance of Paymentez’
monetisation platform is a clear sign that leading virtual content
providers are realising the potential that Latin America holds and
recognise the region as a huge market,” said Stefan Hofmann,

internet cafes in exchange for cash. Paymentez also has an online
