Rixty, Inc. was founded in September 2007 with a mission to provide consumers who lack credit cards a convenient and cost effective way to purchase online.
The founders brought their experiences from the consumer products and online entertainment industries to create a new payment mechanism that allows users to experience the best of the internet without needing to expose confidential information or requiring a bank account or credit card.
Today, Rixty serves a large and growing online population of youth and adult web users who spend money online for multiplayer online games, casual games, virtual worlds, and all types of digital content.
