Access to alternative payment methods for harder‑to‑serve markets
Clear Broker helps gaming companies, affiliates and other complex businesses access regulated providers offering alternative payment methods where traditional card rails underperform or are not feasible. We focus on practical, compliant routes that match real customer behaviour in newer and higher‑risk markets.

Card‑only strategies can cap growth and increase risk
In many territories, local wallets, bank transfers, vouchers or cash‑in networks are the primary way customers pay online, and card penetration or approval rates may be low. Relying on cards alone can mean lost revenue, higher chargeback exposure and unnecessary friction at checkout.
Core APM capabilities via specialist institutions
Through regulated third‑party payment providers, we help clients access a mix of alternative payment methods aligned to their target regions and risk profile.
Local bank transfer schemes
Access to popular domestic account‑to‑account systems where customers expect to pay directly from their bank rather than by card.
Digital wallets and e‑money solutions
Connectivity to recognised wallets that hold local funds, improving conversion and trust in markets where wallet usage is high.
Vouchers and cash‑in networks
Routes that allow customers to fund online balances via physical outlets or vouchers, where card and bank access are limited.
Blended APM and card setup
For suitable businesses, support to combine APMs with card acquiring under a cohesive, risk‑aware structure.
Typical businesses that rely on APMs
We see the strongest fit where international expansion and higher‑risk profiles meet very localised payment habits.
Gaming and betting operators
Businesses entering or scaling in jurisdictions where players prefer APMs, and where acquirers have strict risk policies.
Affiliates, platforms and marketplaces
Models that need to collect from, and sometimes pay out to, customers in markets where cards are not the default option.
Digital content and services in emerging markets
Subscription and content models targeting regions with strong wallet, voucher or bank transfer culture.
From target markets to provider introduction
We start with where you operate and how your customers prefer to pay, then identify regulated providers whose APM coverage and risk appetite match your reality.
Market and payment profile review
Analysis of your key jurisdictions, customer types, existing payment options and pain points.
Regulatory and risk mapping
Clarification of licensing, scheme or local requirements, and the controls you have in place around AML, fraud and responsible gaming or conduct.
Provider shortlisting
Identification of regulated APM providers and acquirers whose product set, coverage and risk frameworks align with your profile.
Introduction and light‑touch support
Facilitated introductions, with support on framing your case, clarifying technical requirements and managing expectations.
What Clear Broker does – and does not do
Clear Broker is an independent introducer and broker in banking, FX, payments and related financial services; we are not a bank, PSP, EMI, acquirer, lender or FX provider and do not offer regulated services directly. We do not operate APMs, wallets or gateways ourselves, and cannot guarantee approvals, limits, geographies or timelines.
Discuss your alternative payment method needs
If your current payment mix is limiting conversion in key markets or at risk of being withdrawn, we can help assess feasibility and introduce suitable regulated APM providers.
