Mopay Inc. has a new platform for mobile payments.
The Palo Alto, Calif., unit of MindMatics AG of Munich said its technology will allow merchants to run Mopay's services on Internet-connected devices running Apple Inc.'s iOS operating system, Google Inc.'s Android, Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone 7 and Samsung Electronics Ltd.'s bada, among others. The technology allows consumers to charge purchases of digital items and services to a mobile phone bill.
"Most mobile payments providers focus on Web purchases and in-app billing on the Android platform," Kolja Reiss, Mopay's managing director, said in a press release Wednesday.
The "brand-new mobile payments platform," Reiss continued, "can be "customized for every platform, be it desktop PCs, notebooks, smartphones, tablets, TVs, game consoles, in-car entertainment systems, kiosks and even appliances."
