PaymentOne enables publishers, application developers and digital merchants such as AOL, Blizzard Entertainment and Gaia Online to sell virtual goods, online and mobile services, and recurring digital subscriptions to consumers around the world.
PaymentOne’s simple and secure ‘click and confirm’ process places charges on the buyer’s existing mobile phone, fixed line or broadband service bills without requiring any disclosure of credit card or sensitive financial information.
