digital payment

A digital eGift company Giftango announced the launch of Mobile Wallet Conversion Platform. The service allows users to securely convert plastic gift cards into digital payments by just entering and leveraging a 2D barcode on the back of a plastic gift card.

Giftango has assembled the infrastructure needed to help bring merchants, incentive houses, plastic card printers, and virtual payment technology companies together to drive consumer adoption of the mobile wallet.

American Express announced that it will offer to AOL’s Patch a digital payment and commerce platform dubbed Serve. Customers will be able to register for Serve accounts via hundreds of Patch sites.

Patch will also offer users the ability to redeem local deals and transact with local merchants via the American Express network. Through the partnership, local merchants will be able to post offers online in a more streamlined, effective way, and consumers will benefit by redeeming offers at the point of sale.
