Paltalk Inc Adopts New Payment Engine

Paltalk Inc, the parent company of social apps Paltalk and Camfrog, has adopted Cleverbridge tools to upgrade its payment processing. This new payment engine will help Paltalk Inc provide more convenient and safe services to its hundreds of millions of users.

Paltalk Inc operates a number of video-focused social platforms, including Palktalk, Camfrog, ManyCam, Tinychat, and Vumber. Across its platforms, Paltalk Inc serves nearly half a billion users worldwide.

The company announced that it is now engaging with Cleverbridge, a software provider that supports subscriptions and payments. This will enable improved services in global markets “while minimizing risk and administrative work” for Paltalk, the social company shared.

“Cleverbridge is an ideal company for us to work with, with nearly two decades of payments’ experience and excellent fraud detection. Beyond facilitating and authenticating payments, we believe Cleverbridge can help us increase our acceptance rates and reduce fraud at a global scale”, said Jason Katz, CEO of Palktalk.
