Mobile payment experts of BOKU announced a carrier-billing deal with T-Mobile USA to allow users to easily pay for digital goods (mobile content and apps) sold through the T-Mobile Mall. As a result, T-Mobile’s app and game developers can accept in-app payments from T-Mobile’s 34 million subscribers with transactions being billed directly to a subscriber’s T-Mobile bill.
In other words, T-Mobile customers will be able to access the T-Mobile Mall and use mobile payments to purchase a wide variety of in-app content within downloaded apps, including virtual goods found in online games from publishers.
BOKU’s technology is integrated across over 60 countries and hundreds of carriers handling everything from localization to payment authorization. Examples include transacting across 20 different languages in 20+ currencies, navigating foreign exchange and VAT Tax issues, and completing complex transactions that deal with pre and post authorization, settlement and refunds.
