Boku, Inc.
("Boku" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries,
the "Group")
Boku Partners with Pearl Abyss to Extend Mobile Payments and
eWallets Globally
Boku (AIM: BOKU), the world's leading independent carrier
commerce company, is pleased to announce a multi-country launch of
Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) and eWallet payment services for Pearl
Abyss Corp ("Pearl Abyss"), the Korean game developer, best known
for the open-world MMORPG (massively multiplayer online
role-playing game) Black Desert.
The launch countries include Russia, Turkey, Thailand,
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore and alongside
carrier billing will also include local eWallet payment services
such as RabbitLinePay, GrabPay GCash, GoPay and OVO.
Commenting, Kevin Kim, CBO, Pearl Abyss said: "Not everyone
possesses a credit card or feels comfortable providing their credit
card details for online purchases. However, almost everyone owns a
mobile device which can be used for online payments, that is why
Boku's 'Mobile First' payment services via direct carrier billing
and eWallet billing appeal to us. The secure, intuitive,
easy-to-use and low-friction checkout experience will result in
higher customer satisfaction, conversion, and retention. Pearl
Abyss is looking forward to a successful partnership with Boku, in
particular as we roll out our new and exciting Black Desert game
offerings."
Jon Prideaux, CEO of Boku, said: "This partnership between Pearl
Abyss and Boku is a perfect demonstration of how Boku helps
companies acquire new paying users by offering their customers all
the best local payment options accessible from their mobile device.
We are not only processing direct carrier billing payments, but
also local eWallet payments which are becoming an increasingly
popular form of mobile payment across many of our clients."
