Virtual World Payments "Paynova and Entropia Expand Cooperation"

Paynova, an Internet payment service, has been in Entropia since 2004, allowing users to use Paynova both in the virtual world and the real world. Now Paynova is expanding in Entropia to allow users more payment options, including debit card, Internet bank and a number of local payment methods in Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. Entropia will also implement Paynova's one2one service, which allows users to use the same transaction service for subscriptions or microtransactions. "We have worked hard on preparing our new offer for online gaming. The payment service has only been in place a short time, and it is, therefore, particularly valuable to be able to implement it fully with a significant player within the segment. We view the expanded cooperation with MindArk as proof of the competitiveness of our new payment service and as an important basis for continued success in the growing online gaming segment," said Karl Alberts, Marketing Manager at Paynova.
