Bango Providing Firefox Marketplace Payments

Mobile payments firm Bango has signed an agreement with Mozilla to bring its payment solution to the Firefox Marketplace, its HTML5-based app store.

The Marketplace is a key part of Mozillas forthcoming Firefox OS, which is expected to begin rolling out this summer.

Through the partnership, operators will be able to offer Bango as a payment option for content purchased through the Marketplace. Bango has partnered with Telefónica in order to take advantage of its BlueVia billing platform to power payments across its Firefox OS launch territories in Europe and Latin America.
