Germany,United States : BOKU announces payments partnership with Deutsche Telekom [TendersInfo (India)]

(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BOKU, Inc., the global leader in online mobile payments, today announced a direct billing agreement with Deutsche Telekom, the largest mobile network operator (MNO) in Germany. The partnership offers over 34 million subscribers in Germany the ability to pay for digital and virtual goods and services simply using their existing wireless account.

With this agreement Deutsche Telekom customers can access the huge portfolio of BOKU merchant partners to purchase a wide variety of digital goods and services, including virtual goods found in online games, digital goods, and Facebook credits. Customers simply enter their phone number to checkout, and respond via SMS to confirm the payment; the charge appears on their wireless bill. Merchants accepting BOKU® direct billing services benefit from this direct connection with a higher conversion rate and access to more paying customers including those with limited access to credit and debit cards.

"Boku is extremely pleased to partner with Deutsche Telekom to provide an easy to use and high quality payments service to German consumers" said James Patmore, SVP of Global Carrier Relations for BOKU. "Our merchants find significant value in the high conversion rate of mobile payments for online purchases it's much simpler than using a credit card or completing an ELV bank transfer. We're proud to offer the cutting edge technology and bank-grade payments platform, which makes this all possible." Germany is a strategically important country for BOKU, a market which has persistently low credit card penetration. Germans prefer to have a mobile payment option in electronic and mobile commerce. BOKU offers an easy and secure solution for online purchases and personal consumption expenditure. BOKU opened offices in Germany in 2011 to bring additional resources to bear in the market, and Martin Buhl, formerly of PayPal, heads the office.
