From 1st July, GlobalCharge Ltd is pleased to announce support for Bitcoin payments to all of its clients.

GlobalCharge currently powers the advanced payment mechanisms behind some of the largest and most profitable content based web sites in Europe. GlobalCharge solves one of the largest issues for the operators of these sites: ensuring that their customers can actually pay for content.
