What is BOKU? BOKU Review, Features

BOKU builds the mobile-first infrastructure used by leading companies around the world to grow, monetize and securely transact in a mobile-first world.

About BOKU

Boku was founded in 2009 by Mark Britto, Erich Ringewald and Ron Hinson with the goal of enabling people to shop for digital content using their mobile phones. Over the past decade, Boku has partnered with the world’s largest brands to achieve this ambition globally. Today, six of the world’s seven most valuable companies operate on the Boku platform.

For most of Boku's history, mobile payments have been driven by mobile operators and carrier billing. However, the emergence and mass adoption of mobile wallets has created a seismic shift not only in mobile payments, but also in the global financial system. In 2021, we launched our mobile-first payment network, combining carrier billing and mobile wallets into a single payment solution.
