Kalixa is spinning off from online gaming company Bwin to launch its own payments platform, TechCrunch reports.
The move should allow Kalixa, which processed $3.5 billion in transactions in 2012, to focus more on payments and differentiate itself from an online gambling company in Bwin. Bwin – which partners with Zynga for its real-money gambling games – has invested $130 million into Kalixa at this point.
Kalixa launched new products titled Kalixa Pro, Kalixa Pay and Kalixa Accept to target various aspects of the payments ecosystem.
