Ugami gamer debit card and app launch closed beta

Ugami has raised $4.8M in seed funding alongside the closed beta for their inaugural Ugami Debit Card and linked app. The seed round was led by Harlem Capital Partners and ULU Ventures. FJ Labs, Origins Fund, and Top Corner Capital also participated.

The debit card and app saw more than 265,000 registrants during the waitlist period. While the Ugami card isn’t the first gamer-focused debit card, it’s now potentially the largest. The amount of interested gamers broke the record in the U.S. for gaming debit card waitlists.
