Deal with PayByCash gives Ukash customers in Europe the
choice to use its cash payment solution online at a great range of
merchants.
Ukash, the fastest growing online cash payment solution, has
signed a deal with PayByCash allowing hundreds of online merchants
to offer a safe, quick and easy cash payment method for online
purchases.
US-based PayByCash, a subsidiary of PlaySpan, offers a portfolio
of more than 70 payment methods worldwide - this now includes
Ukash. The company helps merchants retain customers and maximise
revenue by giving consumers the option to pay in other ways than
with credit cards, meeting the market's growing demand for
alternative payment methods. PayByCash is accepted by over 200
popular online games and virtual worlds.
Customers who choose non-card payments are transferred from the
merchant's site to a PayByCash hosted page where they select Ukash
and simply enter the unique 19-digit number featured on their Ukash
voucher to complete the transaction. When using PayByCash, the
consumer is charged a small service fee for non-card payments.
Ukash's prepaid e-cash vouchers provide customers with peace of
mind, eliminating the threat of fraud and allowing the customer to
pay without the need to reveal sensitive financial details.
"We are really pleased to work with such an active global
payment service as PayByCash" Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash,
explains. "This agreement gives our customers in Europe the choice
to use Ukash at a great range of merchants, including some of the
most popular online games and communities."
Kevin Higgins, from PayByCash, comments "We have seen Ukash's
impressive growth in the last 12 months and have no doubt it will
be quickly adopted as a payment option by our key audiences,
specially the younger population. Likewise, we are also looking
forward to introducing Ukash customers to our exciting
offering."
Ukash, which has experienced a 140% increase in sales in the
last year, provides a simple and secure way for consumers to buy
goods and services online with its prepaid vouchers, available at
275,000 locations across Europe and South Africa, via mobile in the
UK and now also online in most territories.
