The rapidly expanding global cash payment solution Ukash has
announced today its unique vouchers are now available as a payment
method on MadBid.com, the penny-auction phenomenon that everyone's
talking about.
Ukash vouchers, which allow consumers to shop, pay and play
online using cash, are now accepted on www.MadBid.com in the UK and
Ireland for millions to make bids on new products like Nintendo
Wiis, iPods, laptops, digital cameras and LCD TVs which sell for
prices that can only be described as totally mad.
As a completely safe and secure payment method, Ukash vouchers
appeal to the large unbanked community and those who fear online
fraud. MadBid.com attracts thousands of users to its site who bid
on a range of products in a second-by-second auction, and by
accepting Ukash Madbid.com is giving its users more flexibility to
pay online using cash.
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash said: "Madbid.com is an innovative
and exciting internet business that appeals to a large range of
consumers. More and more people are looking for new ways to shop
online and Madbid provides excellent value for customers in an
exciting format that can be enjoyed from the comfort of their own
home. There is a great synergy between our two businesses and we
are sure that our partnership with Madbid will be a great
success."
MadBid.com's Managing Director Juha Koski said: "Ukash will
expand MadBid.com's payment platforms and gives our users the full
range of payment options. Now MadBidders can participate in our
online auctions using cash, which is perfect for people who do not
