NEW YORK, May 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Payments Cloud (APC), a payments-focused cloud-based IT startup, launched today the payments industry's first comprehensive enterprise app store.

Our new technology and fresh approach create a frictionless payments ecosystem that fosters product innovation."
