New for 2025... boku!

Many of you will already know Trevor Goldberg from Boku. He's been to every single one of the Swedish Beers parties in Barcelona and many in London too. And there's not much he doesn't know when it comes to mobile payments.

Boku firmly believes that the future of payments is local - Boku is the payment network trusted by tech giants like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Sony, Meta, Spotify and tencent. Did you know that more people today pay with a local payment method, than with a Visa or MasterCard? (Ed: I didn't! ) Boku is a leading global provider of mobile payment solutions globally (HQ in London but offices globally)and its Payment Network has the world’s largest selection of local payment methods, reaching over 7 billion consumer payment accounts in more than 90 countries worldwide, serving 300+ payment methods, including mobile wallets, direct carrier billing, and account to account/real-time payments schemes.

Boku works with the world’s largest merchants helping them to grow their businesses, with payments that reach mobile-first consumers, targeted marketing programs that attract, engage, and retain digital subscription users, and merchant services that ease the complexities of global settlement, compliance, tax, and fraud mitigation. Sounds pretty neat to me. If you need help to simplify sign-up, acquire new paying users and prevent fraud, then chat to Trevor. This is boku's first time sponsoring and hopefully not their last!
