Singapore-headquartered Thunes, a cross-border payments specialist, is set to acquire Tilia, a US-based payments provider for online games, virtual worlds, and creator economies. The amount is undisclosed.

The deal would allow Thunes – which helps customers like Grab, Paypal, and Uber to send and accept payments across different countries – to expand its offerings to US merchants. They include Tilia’s customers, which use its platform to help convert gamers’ real money into in-game tokens, among other uses.
