Connecting with today’s mobile first consumer
We come from many different countries. We work in many different countries – 29 at last count. We support many different payment methods.
We are many. But we are also one.
Together Boku people work to help our customers to achieve their goals. Together we work to sell to new customers. Together we solve problems for our merchants. It is the very diversity of Boku — with people situated all around the world coming from different cultures, with different experiences and backgrounds, beliefs and orientations – that gives us our strength. Because Boku people are all around the world, we can serve our customers better. Because we come from different countries, we can understand our customers’ requirements better. And these things make us a better company. Diversity at Boku is not just some buzzword or bolt- on, dreamt up to make us look good in the Annual Report. It is who we are. It is our edge.
