Mumbai: PayByCash, a subsidiary of PlaySpan, announced the availability of the PayByCash Code, the most accessible pre-paid product for consumers in 180 countries. PayByCash’s revolutionary new product provides consumers with a streamlined way to make Internet purchases. Using a PayByCash Code is similar to using a credit-card but without the activation hassles that make store-purchased prepaid cards challenging for many consumer demographics.
