Boku, Inc.
("Boku" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries,
the "Group")
Boku Launches Direct Carrier Billing with Microsoft and Vodafone
in Three European Markets
Boku, a leading global mobile payment and mobile identity
company, is pleased to announce the launch of direct carrier
billing payment services to Microsoft platform users and Vodafone
subscribers in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the Czech
Republic.
This partnership brings seamless and secure cardless payments to
Vodafone subscribers in three countries in both Microsoft's Xbox
and Windows stores.
Gamers and Windows users are now able to speed through checkout
by using their phone number as their on-file payment method. To
that end, direct carrier billing will further accelerate the access
and utilisation of Microsoft products via digital payments for
millions of Vodafone subscribers.
Jon Prideaux, CEO of Boku, commented, " This collaboration with
Microsoft will provide convenience and security to the millions of
existing Microsoft platform users, as well as attract new ones. It
also further enhances the existing and extensive global carrier
coverage Boku enables alongside strategic partners like
Vodafone."
