Boku adds eWallet Payments in Indonesia for its Global Music
Streaming Partner
Boku Inc (AIM: BOKU), a leading global mobile payment and mobile
identity company , is pleased to announce the introduction of
eWallet payments in Indonesia for one of its global music streaming
partners (the "Partner").
Boku has added DANA, GoPay, and OVO, three of the most popular
Indonesian eWallets, as new payment options for the Partner's
premium subscription service. With credit card penetration below
5%, eWallets have become Indonesia's fastest growing payment method
and a critical tool for growing online sales in that country.
eWallet use is most prevalent with Indonesia's youth. Recent
reports indicate that 75% of Indonesian ewallet app users are 20-35
years old, with 68% of these using digital wallets at least once a
week.
Jon Prideaux, CEO of Boku, commented: "Whether it is direct
carrier billing or eWallet payments, this partnership is further
illustration of Boku's commitment to acquire new paying users for
our merchant partners wherever the reach of traditional card
payments is simply inadequate. This is especially true in markets
like Indonesia where local eWallets are on pace to command the
majority of all online payment methods in the coming years."
