Boku operates a global mobile payments network that lets online businesses accept payments through direct carrier billing and mobile wallets. It connects merchants to mobile operators and digital wallets, enabling customers to pay with their phone number and have charges appear on a carrier bill or deducted from a wallet balance. It stands out by emphasizing carrier billing and mobile-wallet payments at scale across many countries, especially in markets with low credit-card penetration, rather than relying on traditional card gateways. The goal is to help brands monetize services globally by providing a simple, bank-agnostic way for consumers to pay using their mobile accounts.
