HouseTab, a new mobile app that integrates mobile payments with its own social network, has been formally rolled out in New York City.

Combining convenient, multi-functional technology for both payments and social networking, the app claims to improve the social experience for its users.

Customers can check-in to their favorite bar or restaurant and request check and pay, or just "Get Up and Go". HouseTab has also created its own social network, allowing users to see where friends are checked-in, chat in real-time, and send drinks/food to anyone on the network, at any time.

Housetab CEO Andrew Tauber said, "Realizing that social engagement drives consumer adoption of mobile applications, we’ve incorporated a dynamic social network into our sophisticated mobile payment software."

"HouseTabbers are not only using the app to pay their tabs safely and swiftly, but also to chat, gift food and drinks to friends and engage with their favorite nightlife venues.

HouseTab has selected Braintree as its payment processor, which ensures security and encryption, offering safe experience to both the user and merchant.
