Boku, an online mobile payments provider, announced that they are partnering with Swisscom to connect with direct billing API to offer direct-to-bill mobile payments, reports YahooFinance. This agreement will allow online merchants to offer their customers a new payment option and serve those consumers who find mobile payments easier for transactions. This payment service will be available for all Swisscom mobile subscribers in Switzerland. Users must enter their mobile phone number at the pay point and then enter a PIN number they receive on their phone. This PIN will confirm payments and will be given a wireless bill that list charges.

James Patmore, senior vice president at Boku, said, “Swisscom is an incredibly strong partner in Switzerland based not only on their market share but also their commitment to their partners and their customers. The direct billing API will allow Boku to deliver a bank-grad carrier billing experience to the vast majority of Switzerland’s mobile users in one fell swoop.”
