ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shoebuy.com, one of the largest Internet retailers of footwear and apparel, will offer Moneta as its newest payment option. Moneta offers consumers a secure, free online payment method which enables them to safely pay from their bank account without leaving the merchant site or disclosing sensitive information.

Consumers setup their free Moneta account conveniently through a single enrollment process at www.monetacorp.com; setting a username, password and designating a bank account for online payments. When shopping online, the consumer simply logs in, and completes the transaction within seconds, without leaving the merchant site or revealing sensitive information.

Moneta’s method of securely transferring payments from the consumer’s checking account is growing in popularity. Financial analysts predict that consumer credit use may decline by 40 percent within a year accelerating debit-based payment acceptance, like Moneta, as consumers pay down credit balances.

“Shoebuy customers appreciate the range of choice we provide in product selection and in payment options,” said Jim Keller, SVP Marketing at Shoebuy.com. “Moneta is well suited for our customers who prefer to pay directly from a bank account and avoid running up credit balances and interest charges. In addition to providing value to our existing customers, we believe that Moneta’s bank payment approach will attract new customers to Shoebuy.com through unique marketing programs with trusted consumer organizations such as financial institutions and non-profits.”

“We are pleased to have Moneta added as a payment option on Shoebuy.com, one of the largest online retailers,” said Guido Sacchi, CEO of Moneta. “Shoebuy’s commitment to a positive customer experience reflects our focus on increasing consumer confidence through a secure, easy online transaction that promotes responsible spending.
