One Horizon Group Launches App Credit Service

BAAR, Switzerland, Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- One Horizon Group, Inc. (OTCQB: OHGI) ("One Horizon" or the "Company"), which develops and licenses software application platforms that optimize mobile communications over the Internet, today announced the launch of its on-line Global Phone Credit (GPC) service add-on. 

The Horizon GPC service provides a complete Internet shop-front that performs the cash collection, credit card management and cash reconciliation services for all Horizon service providers that wish to avail themselves of it.  This Horizon technology component seamlessly works alongside any legacy operator credit top-up services such as scratch-cards.  The Horizon service provider can now also promote the GPC on-line payment portal allowing their subscribers to pay for their in-App credit using their credit card or a PayPal account.

Brian Collins, Horizon Founder and Chief Technology Officer of One Horizon commented, "Some businesses struggle with on-line payment systems, billing systems and the burden of credit card management.  Subscribers on every operator-branded Horizon platform need to be able to purchase App credit simply and with the utmost of ease.  Our new app credit service is a fully integrated Horizon web shop credit purchase solution that can be easily deployed by all of our customers deploying our white-labeled solution."

"By taking the headache of web shops away from our customers, they are free to concentrate on marketing their own brand of Horizon's revolutionary smartphone VoIP and Instant Messaging solutions to their subscribers and simply allow the GPC on-line service to do all the cash collection and credit management work for them," added Mr. Collins.

The GPC service works in conjunction with the Horizon Global Exchange product suite.  A software license is required for the Horizon Global Exchange.
