Boku Launches Direct Carrier Billing with Microsoft in South
Korea & Saudi Arabia
Boku, a leading global provider of mobile payment and identity
solutions, is pleased to announce it has launched a new mobile
payment method for Microsoft in both South Korea and Saudi
Arabia.
Customers of South Korea's SK Telecom ("SKT") and Saudi Arabia's
Saudi Telecom ("STC") can now make seamless and secure cardless
payments in both Microsoft Xbox and Microsoft PC Stores.
Microsoft Gamers and PC users are now able to speed through
checkout by using their phone number as their on-file payment
method. To that end, Direct Carrier Billing will further accelerate
the access and utilization of Microsoft products via digital
payments for millions of SKT and STC subscribers.
Jon Prideaux, Chief Executive Officer of Boku, commented, "We're
excited to further extend Microsoft's mobile payments acceptance
through our global carrier coverage that includes strategic
partners like SKT and STC. Our collaboration with Microsoft is a
promising achievement that will provide convenience and security to
the millions of existing Microsoft platform users as well as
attract new ones."
