Last week, an Australian company called Pixel Capital acquired the domain name creditcard.net for $138,000 in a bid to more adequately market its financial comparison website network in the United States.

Said network includes sites like CreditCard.com.au and Creditworld.com.au.

According to DN Journal data, the sale marks the second highest for a .net domain name this year, following Cars.net (which was sold for $170,000).

Pixel Capital founding director Roland Bleyer in a statement says CreditCard.net will be positioned differently to existing financial comparison websites in the US, with blog posts and general information about how to reduce debt, improve your credit rating and obtain a better credit card deal.

The company established its first online brand, Creditworld.com.au, in Australia back in 2005.
