GlobalCharge becomes first Payforit approved in-app payments provider

LONDON, UK: GlobalCharge announced its accreditation under the new Payforit scheme for In-App mobile transactions becoming the first to offer a Payforit approved solution.

Payforit is the UK mobile micropayment scheme, created and supported by all of the UK mobile network operators (MNOs), enabling consumers to use their mobile phone account or prepaid balance to transact securely and safely when purchasing content and services on the internet.

Following successful trials earlier this year, the Payforit scheme has been extended to include specific guidelines for In-App purchases. With the key considerations of security, consumer protection in mind, Payforit 4.1 will require In-App purchases to be conducted via an authorised In-App payment intermediary.

GlobalCharge's In-App payment library enables merchants to quickly and easily offer Payforit In-App payments in their Android apps. Merchants retain control over the overall checkout experience while GlobalCharge takes care of the specific requirements for Payforit compliance. The resulting frictionless checkout experience ensures that Merchants benefit from high conversion rates.
