Zong expands mobile payments platform to any connected device

Mobile payment solutions provider Zong will expand its platform to additional application ecosystems and devices, enabling developers to integrate transaction options across environments including the mobile web, gaming consoles and interactive TV as well as Flash and Unity apps. Previously available for HTML and Android, Zong's one-touch solution automatically verifies the user's mobile number via SMS, bills their phone account and returns them to their app or game experience. Zong adds that its solution now extends to tablets running Android 3.0.

Zong provides payment services in more than 40 countries and 21 languages. The firm is the mobile payment provider behind Facebook Credits, and its services are accepted at more than a thousand digital merchant sites. Last year, Zong along with fellow mobile payment solutions providers BilltoMobile and Boku launched a trial with AT&T (NYSE:T), enabling the operator's subscribers to charge online products and services directly to their monthly wireless bill.
