There is functionality that enables parents to purchase credit for their children and a recurring payment facility to enable consumers to maintain subscriptions indefinitely. All payments are made via credit or debit card in both Pounds Sterling and Euros. The service will initially be able to process up to 300 transactions per minute and is scaleable for up to 1000 transactions per minute.
