Boku adds Poland's
BLIK Form of Payment as its first LPM with Google
Boku, Inc. (AIM: BOKU), a leading
global provider of mobile payment solutions, is pleased to announce
that it has added BLIK as a Form of Payment in
Poland as a payment method for Google, Boku's first local payment
method ("LPM") connection for Google, extending the strong
relationship Boku already has with Google through Direct Carrier
Billing ("DCB").
With this launch, 16.3 million active users of BLIK in Poland
will be able to utilise this payment method when purchasing
from the Google Play store, ensuring that they can utilise the
payment method they prefer.
The National Bank of Poland have
classified BLIK as an important payment system in a Polish market, with evidence that BLIK is
now the most frequently used payment method for online purchases in
Poland.
Stuart Neal, Boku's CEO, commented: "We are very pleased to see BLIK go live as a payment option
for Google in Poland. This is our first LPM connection with Google,
a company we have had a relationship with for a number of
years through them using our
DCB services. With Boku's merchants
increasingly adopting these newer payment methods Boku is ideally
placed as their trusted payment partner."
Magdalena Kubisa, Director Of Business Development at BLIK,
commented: "BLIK is a versatile
payment method that is already the top choice for online purchase
for many Poles. Therefore, we are delighted to expand our network
of availability, and through collaboration with Boku, BLIK will be
one of the available payment methods for Google Play. For us, this
is another strategic step in the development and dissemination of
our system. We hope that the service will generate broad
interest."
