MPP Global Milestone
Our Story
March 2000
MPP Global started up in 2000, and we've been on an epic ride ever since.
From our mobile-centric beginnings focussed on mobile commerce to retailing the first MP3 with micropayments in 2004, we’ve stayed true to our core beliefs to deliver new and advanced technologies to our media and entertainment clients.
June 2000
What’s with our name? The name both points to our global reach and the heritage of our platform.
MPP stands for “MyPocketPal” to reflect our beginnings as a B2C web and mobile lifestyle portal. Many choose to think of mobile commerce as meaning "a retail outlet in your customer’s pocket" and so, our name was born.
March 2001
MPP Global unveils AirFusion - an innovative solution that instantly gives businesses their own branded mobile internet commerce portal.
We're the first company to process a credit card transaction over mobile Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). We deliver Application Service Provider (ASP) capabilities long before anyone thought of labels such as “cloud” and “PaaS”.
June 2002
MPP Global is the first company to launch an integrated shopping basket solution.
With now over 50 of the biggest names in UK music, media, entertainment, sporting governing bodies and Premiership Football Clubs, MPP Global provides the most innovative mobile internet service in its sector and become the first company in the world to process a micropayment.
October 2004
MPP Global launches a new integrated payment platform, iShop, designed to enable consumers to buy both physical products and digital content with one transaction. iShop enables customers to buy through multiple interfaces including web, WAP, SMS and latterly interactive TV.
iShop took modules from MPP Global’s eCommerce and macro/micropayment products and combined them to create the ultimate ‘one click’ eWallet.
November 2004
MPP Global can now deliver a music download to the consumer’s desktop, a ringtone to a mobile phone, a digitized video clip to an email inbox, and a CD through your letter box all from one transaction through any medium.
The Paul Weller (www.paulweller.com) site is a shining example of the solution - and even wins an award or two!
March 2005
MPP Global becomes the preferred provider of eCommerce payment gateways and content entitlement for Sky across a series of its digital services, including Sky Player and (more latterly) Sky Go, which delivers TV services to PC, Mac, games consoles, iPads and iPhones.
In the same year, we redesign our logo to reflect our innovative and entrepreneurial culture (look out for our thought bubbles!).
September 2006
PCI compliance (PCI DSS) is now compulsory.
PCI DSS is applied to all our policies, procedures and data storage of sensitive customer information. We achieve Enterprise Wide PCI Compliance to Tier 1 level and we are audited once a year by an external company.
January 2007
Continuing our plan of growth and expansion, we move to larger premises at Birchwood Park (our current premises), situated in Warrington.
We now have a handsome office with excellent meeting and conference rooms and space for further expansion as we continue to grow. We also cut the yellow ribbon on our new office in London, which is now officially open.
April 2009
MPP Global adds CRM and Identity Management capability to its portfolio. The new offering features an end-to-end, multi-channel approach that provides data, insight, context and information throughout the entire customer lifecycle; from the moment a customer clicks or engages to when he or she buys and is retained as a happy customer.
Our CRM also provides analytical tools to help companies measure and improve their customer-related activities.
January 2011
iShop is now re-packaged and launched as eSuite, expanding our powerful cloud-based CRM and eCommerce functionality.
Much like the iTunes’ online payment solution, we put our clients’ customers one-click away from any product. Monetizing digital content or products, even with micropayments, has never been easier.
February 2011
MPP Global is helping clients across the globe maximize the opportunities created by the rise in convergent media to monetize digital content.
With micropayments for online newspaper content to powering paywalls for News UK titles, we are now at the forefront of the paid content explosion.
September 2011
Now mastering a billing solution that eliminates customers' 'Pain of Paying', MPP Global handles connected-TV payments for Philips 2nd Generation Smart TVs across the globe.
In fact, we carry out the first Smart-TV card payment in October 2011.
November 2011

The new brand renews our commitment to sharing our expertise and reflects the uniqueness of our end-to-end offering.
March 2015
MPP Global launches the Metering & Entitlements module. With traditional business models in a state of transformation, more and more media companies are moving from just selling physical products, packages and separate ‘all-you-can-eat’ digital subscriptions to combinations of digital and physical bundles with freemium, metered, paywall, and hybrid options.
This is where this functionality comes in, offering flexible services for controlling consumer access to website and application content.
