Bango launches SoftBank payment option for Amazon.co.jp
-- SoftBank customers can use carrier billing to purchase retail goods on Amazon.co.jp
-- Bango now powers carrier billing for Amazon customers in
Japan across big three mobile operators
Cambridge, UK, 15 June 2020 - Bango (AIM: BGO), the mobile
commerce company, announces that it has enabled carrier billing for
mobile operator SoftBank Corp. (TSE : SOBKY ), on Amazon.co.jp.
Amazon (NASDAQ : AMZN) customers with a SoftBank mobile phone
account can now pay for goods, membership fees and subscription
services, and charge the cost to their mobile phone bill.
To use this payment option, a SoftBank subscriber simply adds
carrier billing as a payment option in their Amazon.co.jp account
and then purchases can be made from any device, with the cost
charged to their phone bill.
Bango now powers carrier billing for Amazon.co.jp across Japan's
three largest operators, adding SoftBank in addition to NTT Docomo
and KDDI. With 177M subscriptions (source: Statista 2020) across a
population of 130M (source: World Bank), Japan is one of the most
highly penetrated mobile markets in the world.
Carrier billing enables customers to make purchases instantly,
without the need to enter their card details online. It is a highly
effective way to acquire, monetize and engage customers. Bango
technology ensures payment reliability, security and customer
success.
"Bango technology has ensured that our customers can enjoy a
simple and successful way to buy on Amazon.co.jp " said Toshiaki
Hirata , Board Director, Senior Vice President & CSO, SB
Payment Service Corp. , a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp . "We look
forward to benefiting from Bango data insights to accelerate the
growth of our new business".
"Japan's high spending population leads the world in mobile
commerce. Charging the cost of goods to the phone bill is a widely
adopted payment method, with billions of dollars in online
purchases charged to Japanese phone bills," said Paul Larbey, Bango
CEO. "The Bango Platform meets the challenge of delivering carrier
billing at scale, ensuring global retailers can provide customers
with the convenience and security they want from a payment
method".
