By adding BOKU to the single-interface payments platform of GlobalCollect, merchants are now able, next to other payment methods, to quickly and easily integrate mobile payments into their checkout. The partnership leverages BOKU’s pricing and transaction technology built by industry veterans from Amazon, Google, PayPal, Yahoo, Visa, BarclayCard, Bank of America, and AT&T.
