Spanish payment services are now receiving a fairly large number of inquiries from their clients, the largest percentage of which are in the gambling sector and in relation to transactions in other markets, including Latin America, Asia and some African countries. Manuel Prieto, CEO of Easy Payment Gateway, comments:
"Offering products or services in other countries requires a wide range of payment options to ensure that sales in one region are not lost. In this emergency, we need to look for solutions that generate income and help promote growth, always considering the different characteristics of each sector."
