Mobile payments specialist Bango PLC (LON:BGO) has entered into a partnership with NTT DATA to expand payments across Asia.
Merchants using the Bango Platform to offer online payments can now expand their footprint to hundreds of millions more users in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Philippines, and other key Asian markets, it said.
The partnership brings more than 30 wallets and digital payment methods into the Bango Circle. Bango works with tech giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft to help process payments from mobile customers across their app stores.
As a result of the NTT DATA agreement, wallet providers across Asia will be able to attract more users by partnering with Bango merchants to bundle product offers as sign-up incentives and loyalty rewards, acquiring new customers based on purchase behaviour targeting.
"Bango powers one-click payments for the world's biggest online businesses", said Andy Suzuki, SVP Asia Pacific at Bango. "Partnering with NTT DATA brings together Bango global payments technology with the focused, regional coverage and quality of service that only NTT DATA can provide."
"We are excited to enter into this partnership with Bango," said Poon Khye Wei, chief operating officer, NTT DATA Hong Kong. "Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and extensive digital payment coverage for merchants across Asia and globally. By collaborating with Bango, we can offer their merchants an integrated solution of significant coverage of localized digital payments along with Bango platform specific features and solutions."
The NTT DATA partnership follows the agreement Bango signed with TPAY Mobile in January 2021, giving Bango merchants access to over 20 leading wallets across Africa.
