Dialogue Receives Vodafone Innovation Award for Web Payforit

The "Griff Innovation Award", presented at the Vodafone Aggregator Forum in London last week, has been won by mobile specialists Dialogue Communications. The award, which is named in recognition of Dialogue's late managing director Paul Griffiths, recognised the company's achievement in introducing the very first Payforit solution for the World Wide Web.

(AllPayNews) - Dialogue has provided the Online Payforit service to a number of companies including AEI Mobile, allowing consumers to buy event tickets online, and to charities in conjunction with BT agilemedia to facilitate the payment of online donations. Both these solutions were demonstrated at the Vodafone Aggregator Forum, showing how Online Payforit can you be used for specific applications.

Guiom Peersman, Dialogue's UK managing director commented, "Dialogue has been a leader in the development of Payforit from the very beginning and taking the initiative online is another significant step, which we are very happy Vodafone has recognised.

"We are also extremely honoured to be receiving the Griff Innovation Award in particular, recognising our continued work to build on Paul's significant legacy and the work he began here at Dialogue," concluded Guiom.

Dialogue was the first company to take Payforit live in January 2007, when it was used predominantly by mobile content providers to sell content via the mobile internet. Now, 18 months later, the Payforit system has been further developed and with the recent increase of the maximum single transaction to £10, it looks set to become a popular payment mechanism both online and via mobile.
