History

Honor Gunday and Vladimir Kovalyov started Paymentwall in April 2010 to help game companies on Facebook monetize their global traffic.[2]

On July 1, 2011, Facebook announced that they would no longer allow any outside monetization providers, at which point the company pivoted to providing services to non-Facebook games and online dating websites.[3][4]

In 2011, the company entered into partnership with Alipay, a third-party mobile and online payment platform, established in Hangzhou, China in February 2004 by the Alibaba Group.[5]

Paymentwall launched a payment system for Smart TVs in November 2014.[6]

In 2018, Paymentwall spun out Terminal3 as a global payment platform for gaming companies.[7]

Offices

Paymentwall is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in Berlin,[8][9] Bangalore, Beijing, Gurgaon, Hanoi, Kyiv, Lisbon, London, Moscow, Manila, Seoul, Shenzhen, Cairo and Sofia.

In November 2015, the company unveiled its intergalactic-themed development lab in Kyiv.[10]

In July 2019, the company officially announced its two new office locations in Bangalore and Gurgaon.[11]
