Appitalism launches innovative billing and payment methods

London - (AIM: MOS), 13 January 2011 - Mobile Streams, developers of the leading independent app store, Appitalism.com, has launched two new innovative payment options for users of the service.

As well as being able to pay for app and content downloads using a credit or debit card on the website or from a mobile device, Appitalism consumers now also have the option of using PayPal or ECP/ ACH (Electronic Check/ Cheque Processing and Automated Clearing House) too.

ECP/ ACH allows U.S. consumers to purchase content using their bank account directly by entering their routing number (sort code) and bank account number details into Appitalism's secure checkout.  

Recurring billing via PayPal and payment using bank account details on mobile devices are examples of new innovations in mobile payment implementations that provide Appitalism users with even more ways to purchase content from the site.

All of these billing options can be used to pay for one-off premium content downloads as well as to purchase an Appitalism store value loyalty card called an 'App Card' or to subscribe to join the consumer 'App Club'.

"Our new payment options are designed to give consumers different payment choices and to make purchasing content from Appitalism as simple, safe and hassle free as possible." commented Simon Buckingham, CEO of Mobile Streams.

Appitalism customers can use any of these billing options to purchase from the service's catalogue of over five million premium apps, songs, books, games and videos compatible with a broad range of digital devices including smartphones, tablets, PCs and eBook readers.
