Chinese bicycle sharing startup Mobike is leveraging Fortumo’s Messaging Platform to authenticate users and share service-related messages through SMS in over 15 countries.
Mobike, the largest bike-sharing company in the world, can reach both locals and tourists using Fortumo’s platform as it supports mobile users of more than 350 telcos in 100+ countries.
Fortumo’s Messaging Platform gives merchants a direct line of communication through SMS with their customers for payment notifications and 2-factor user authentication (2FA). The company’s pay-as-you-go model combined with direct connections to mobile operators ensures merchants can reach their customers in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
In recent news from the transportation industry, Fortumo launched carrier billing for the mobile parking company EasyPark.
