Boku

For Boku, it’s important to provide best-in-class services tailored to the needs of global merchants and mobile network operators. Hence, we are happy to announce another step in our growing relationship with Google and Swisscom🇨🇭by supporting both parties in migrating their direct carrier billing (DCB) service for Swisscom to Google Standard Payments platform.  Migrating the existing DCB connection to Boku’s DCB platform provides Swisscom with access to a robust and scalable solution and ensures the long-term continuity of its partnership with Swisscom and Boku.  This partnership involved a migration from another provider, which is a testament to Boku being a trusted payment partner providing leading localized payment solutions to global merchants worldwide. Simplifying global expansion for our merchants and supporting mobile network operators is at the core of what we do and it’s always a pleasure to be able to deliver exceptional results! 

We are grateful for the incredible journey we’ve had alongside our amazing merchants, partners, and LinkedIn community. As we reflect on the past year, we’re grateful for our clients’ and partners’ trust. Your support has been the foundation of our success.    🎄 We at Boku wish you all a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year ahead, filled with peace, seamless transactions, and an abundance of joy and cherished moments! 💫 

More to come in 2025! 🎉

🇮🇩 Indonesia presents a complex mix of local digital wallets, each with a different customer base and use case. 🔸ShopeePay has become a leading financial app, serving millions with seamless digital payments. Integrated with SeaBank, SPayLater and bank debits, it offers a versatile and convenient solution for transactions within and beyond the Shopee ecosystem. In 2020, its customer base was around 30 million. Today, it’s close to 190 million users. 🔸GoPay belongs to the GoTo Group, the largest technology group in Indonesia, combining on-demand and financial services through the Gojek and GoTo Financial brands. GoPay is widely used for on-demand services, ecommerce, and entertainment, and is available in the Gojek and GoPay apps, which have been downloaded more than 190 million times. 🔸 OVO is a leading digital payment and financial services platform in Indonesia with more than 1.5 million QRIS-enabled merchants across 600+ cities and administrative regencies. 🔸 DANA is a convenient way to pay utility bills with over 190 million users. DANA has opened access for users in main, satellite, and rural areas, aiming to achieve a financially healthy cashless society in Indonesia. 🔸Last but not least, there is a payment method in Indonesia with the highest overall TPV: Virtual Accounts. This payment method is commonly used for larger basket sizes and is paid in via mobile banking app, ATM, cash in ATMs, and so on. Overall, we can say that wallets are widely used due to consumer preference and marketing campaigns related to promotions or loyalty programs. Virtual Accounts are more widespread and have been in the market for longer, having earned their place in consumers’ minds. #indonesia #ecommerce #payments  GoPay Indonesia ShopeePay OVO (PT Visionet Internasional) DANA Indonesia

Are fraud prevention measures silent revenue killers? 🤔 Issuers assess merchants on their level of fraud risk. High-risk merchants may jeopardize issuers’ revenues due to higher rates of declined transactions. 🚨 With the increasing adoption of AI-based fraud prevention methods, merchants can leverage historical data to identify patterns and trends in fraudulent transactions and put a hold on declined transactions due to fraud and other fraud-related issues impacting revenue. 🔎 Low fraud rates mean a lower risk profile. And, in the long run, fraud prevention and low fraud rates lead to improved conversion and revenue savings — plus a sublime customer experience. 🏆 #fraud #ecommerce #payments 

Global merchants don’t have it easy when it comes to choosing the right local payment method for their business! While it may be easy for a local seller to know which LPMs better align with their customers and what is the best payment mix to cover all consumer preferences, when we apply this same decision to global merchants, things start to get complicated... For instance, a global merchant could think: "If we add X, Y, and Z payment methods to our checkout, we can reach 130 million users — let’s implement them all!” In reality, each company, product, market, and ICP are different, and the decision to implement a specific LPM can’t depend on its size or on a competitor’s strategy.

2024 has been a successful year for us: We have grown significantly, hitting our targets like never before, launching world-leading local payment methods (LPMs) — such as BLIK in Poland and UPI in India — and welcoming 122 new people to our team. Along the way we’ve published so much valuable content to help simplify decision-making for our merchants on how to choose the right LPMs for their business. Take a closer look and find out what we have been up to this past year! 👀
