Boku Enters Strategic Partnership to Offer Silent and
Frictionless Mobile Identity Verification with Global Mobile
Telecoms Group
Boku (AIM: BOKU), the world's leading independent direct carrier
commerce company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a
partnership with a global mobile telecommunications group (the
"Partner") to provide mobile identity verification capabilities to
the Partner's mobile network operator subsidiaries worldwide.
As part of the agreement, Boku will integrate directly with the
Partner's global hub, enabling any of the Partner's mobile network
operators worldwide to connect with Boku's Identity platform
through a single connection.
The mobile identity verification provided by Boku will enable
the Partner's mobile subscribers to enjoy silent, frictionless
verification and authentication processes across every mobile
interaction with Boku's global merchant portfolio.
This strategic partnership represents a growing trend of mobile
network operators recognising that the mobile phone is poised to
become not only the default discovery mechanism for consumers, but
also the primary device on which they interact with global
businesses.
Stuart Neal, Chief Business Officer, Boku Identity, commented:
"Consumers are constantly looking for easier frictionless ways to
interact on mobile. This agreement will see us continue to build on
our strong relationship with this Partner, enabling their operators
to seamlessly integrate identity verification.
"For the Partner, it will deepen their relationship with their
customers by enabling them to interact and transact in a natural
and convenient way. This is another endorsement of Boku's strategy
to touch every mobile interaction and whilst progress on Identity
has been slower than we initially would have liked, this agreement
is yet another indicator of the exciting opportunity ahead of
us."
