Boku Expands European coverage for Frictionless Mobile Identity
Verification through Strategic Partnership with Swisscom
Boku (AIM: BOKU), the world's leading independent direct carrier
commerce company, is pleased to announce it has entered into a
partnership with Swisscom to provide mobile identity verification
capabilities in the Swiss market.
As part of the agreement, Swisscom will connect with Boku's
global Identity platform through a single connection. The mobile
identity verification provided by Boku will enable Swisscom's
approximately six million mobile subscribers to enjoy silent,
frictionless verification and authentication processes across every
mobile interaction with Boku's global merchant portfolio.
The strategic partnership between Swisscom and Boku 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:
"This agreement will see us continue to build on our strong
relationship with Swisscom. Consumers are constantly looking for
easier frictionless ways to securely interact on mobile. For
Swisscom, 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."
Amir Peled, Head of OTT of Swisscom commented: "Swisscom is
committed to helping our subscribers' access and securely
participate in the rapidly growing number of activities and
interactions available via their mobile phones. This partnership
with Boku is born from a shared perspective that those consumers
deserve to enjoy a streamlined, frictionless experience when they
sign-up for new services via their phone and we look forward to
collaborating with Boku in the future."
