InMobi and Opera collaborate for Mpayment

InMobi has partnered with Opera Software to make available its SmartPay mobile payment platform, to more than 160 million global users of Opera's mobile browser.

SmartPay will enable Opera users to pay for digital goods in key markets around the globe, while making purchases with partner publishers of InMobi. It is a simple, smart, global solution for mobile payments and app monetization, targeted at mobile-content publishers and app developers.

The two companies will build viable third-party monetization solutions in the mobile browsing and computing space.

''Working with global partners like Opera is a great way for us to expand our offering. Opera’s global focus made them the ideal partner for SmartPay,'' said Piyush Shah, VP, InMobi SmartPay.

''Mobile payments will shape commerce for the next several years, and Opera and InMobi are at the forefront of this revolution, catering to millions of users worldwide,'' said Mahi de Silva, EVP, consumer mobile, Opera Software.
