Rixty

edit

Rixty is an alternative payment platform that lets cash-based consumers spend online without a credit card. Users can convert cash and coins to Rixty value at over 70,000 domestic stores (including 14,000 Coinstar kiosks) and nearly 500,000 locations worldwide, or they can pay online with a bank account. Rixty supports over 1,000 popular online games, social networks and digital content sites and is TRUSTe-certified safe and secure for all ages.

By making it easy to monetize cash-based consumers, Rixty helps website publishers increase sales and convert more users into paying customers without cannibalizing credit card sales. Even publishers with their own branded cards use Rixty to extend distribution into the nation’s largest network of retail payment locations – without the high cost of card production and fulfillment.
