RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - Jun 21, 2011) - Visitors to the mba.com store can now choose from a broader array of payment methods when they purchase GMAT test-preparation tools and other products.

The store, operated by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a nonprofit association of business schools worldwide and owner of the GMAT exam, has started accepting payments in the currencies of Norway and Sweden in addition to U.S. dollars.

Norwegian and Swedish mba.com store customers may also now use the Klarna payment system, which enables a buyer to receive a purchase before payment goes to the seller. Customers in Sweden can also complete transactions using Direktbetalning, an online payment system that allows people to transfer funds to a merchant directly from a bank account.

In addition, mba.com store customers in Japan now have the option of paying via the country's extensive network of konbini, or convenience stores. People choosing this method pay for their online selections at an in-store point-of-sale terminal before the items are delivered.
