Boku, the global leader in carrier billing-based mobile payments, announces that its technology will now be offered by Optimal Payments, a leading global online payment solutions provider. This will be offered through Optimal Payments' NETELLER service, an e-money/e-wallet stored-value service, enabling customers to top-up their stored value accounts by charging the purchase amount for goods and services directly to their mobile phone bill. Customers will now be able to make purchases across the entire NETELLER merchant network.
With the partnership, Boku’s carrier billing top-up is available to any merchant that uses reloadable payment mechanisms to enable purchases through the NETELLER service or Net+® Card stored value offering. This partnership also gives NETELLER account holders the ability to make deposits in the UK, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, with more markets opening in the near future.
Jeremy Arnold, EMEA Senior Director, Boku
NETELLER accountholders now have a frictionless method to deposit funds into their stored value accounts in seconds, using nothing more than their mobile phones. We are excited to bring our carrier billing solution to NETELLER merchants and look forward to continuing our partnership with Optimal Payments as more markets come on board.
Lorenzo Pellegrino, EVP NETELLER, Optimal Payments
Our merchants have been requesting a carrier billing solution and the oneoffered by Boku is an ideal answer to a difficult problem. It is simple and convenient for customers, and it opens up new markets of potential mobile phone users who were unable, or chose not to, top-up their accounts using other payment methods in the past.
