Billing Revolution, a mobile payments startup, enables consumers to buy goods through their mobiles. Purchases are charge against the mobile subscriber’s credit card.
Most
payments startups focusing on mobile commerce these days are relying on
either direct debit or carrier billing to handle funds transfers. But
Billing Revolution, a 2-year-old Seattle-based company, is marketing a
system that lets consumers buy products on their handsets with a single
click, and charge their transactions to their credit cards.
That
concept may be starting to gain some traction. On Thursday,
Authorize.net, a major e-commerce gateway belonging to Mountain View,
Calif.-based CyberSource Corp., agreed to integrate Billing Revolution
with its service, making it available potentially to some 250,000
merchants. This followed Billing Revolution’s launch of a reseller
program in which it is seeking independent sales organizations and
gateways to recruit merchants. The company itself has become an ISO for
Elavon, the big merchant processor belonging to U.S. Bank.
