AT&T and BilltoMobile announced a new partnership that will provide the carrier's customers with a new mobile billing service. As part of the agreement, BilltoMobile will provide its Direct Mobile Billing payment service to AT&T's wireless subscribers as a trial.

BilltoMobile is known for providing convenient and secure payment options for mobile-centric consumers.

One of the major players in the e-commerce industry, BilltoMobile's payment solution features an interface that doesn't require registration, no set up, no application or downloads and no association with other financial instruments, such as credit or bank cards.

“We're excited to collaborate with AT&T and offer their customers the benefits of a convenient, user-friendly mobile payment solution,” said Jim Greenwell, CEO, BilltoMobile."   “This form of billing is the logical next step in the e-commerce mobile payments landscape that BilltoMobile and our strategic investor, Danal Co., Ltd, have pioneered for the past several years,” continued Greenwall.

Furthermore, users of the service won't have to expose any sensitive account numbers during purchases. All transactions with merchants are easy and secure, and take only two steps and mere seconds to complete.

The number of online merchants that BilltoMobile has agreed to include in the program is growing, as the company continues to attract new partners with its secure Direct Mobile Billing approach.

As more merchants find that offering mobile payments increases their revenues from a wide variety of consumers, they will continue to search for a secure and easy to use mobile payment solution.

According to the service provider, AT&T subscribers will be have access to mobile payments on several top online digital goods and services sites.

As a side note, BilltoMobile is a privately-held U.S. company, in partnership with its strategic investor and majority shareholder, Danal (Seoul, South Korea).

In 2010, BilltoMobile became the first and only alternative payments company to offer a non-Premium SMS-based, Direct Mobile Billing service with two major U.S. carriers.
