Boku

We are pleased to announce that FXC Intelligence recognized Boku as one of the Global Most Promising Cross-Border Payment Companies for 2024. We are grateful for this achievement, which reflects our hard work in making a change in the local payment method space and where we continue to drive our mission to simplify global expansion for our merchants by providing seamless access to the world’s most popular payment methods. What Daniel Webber, CEO and founder of FXC Intelligence, said about us: "Boku has established itself as a truly global company, with employees spread across 29 countries serving customers across Asia, Europe and Latin America. Boku’s impressive financial results from 2023 prove that it has been growing significantly in recent years, taking market share through its B2B payment services. We’re excited to see what’s next for Boku." Thank you FXC Intelligence for giving us this recognition! #boku #fintech #fintechawards #FXCmostpromising

At Boku we love good competition and to showcase our creativity (with bonus points for any activity that involves food!). So, we’ve started our own Boku Bake Off challenge, just like the beloved Great British Bake Off, the ultimate battle for passionate amateur baking fans! This competition leaves no one indifferent: cakes, pies, cookies… the only rule is flavor! The panel of judges comprised fellow Bokuers who sampled each creation with the same critical palate as at the Great British Bake Off show. Fun fact: The Boku Bake Off tradition originally started couple of years ago in our London HQ (no doubt as to why). But this year all Boku employees from our various office locations in Estonia, the U.S., India, Germany got a chance to participate! Now we begin the quest for our next Boku Bake Off champion! In the meantime, check out the culinary masterpieces that were created during the first rounds 👀

Drumroll, please! 🥁 Boku has been awarded the Future Digital Award for 'Excellence in Fintech & Payments' 2024 by Juniper Research! 👏 This is a huge win for our team, a major milestone in our journey and a testament to our dedication to innovation and excellence in the fintech and payments industry. Our partnership with Juniper Research has been instrumental in helping us stay ahead of industry trends, and we couldn't be more proud of this achievement. Thank you Juniper Research for this recognition! #boku #fintechawards #paymentsaward

It can start as a ‘one-off’ refund request, a momentary lapse in honesty, to save money on goods or services already used. If successful the first time, the temptation to repeat this behaviour can be strong. Though this may not sound like most people’s idea of a ‘fraudster’, it is not a fully legitimate or honest interaction – and most businesses consider this fraud. Laura Carruthers, Fraud Prevention Director at Boku, sheds light on the growing problem of friendly fraud, its impacts, and effective strategies to protect businesses. #fraud #fraudprevention #payments

Summer has passed and all the students are back at their desks at university. For Boku, it means that we can look back at the amazing experiences our interns had during this time. Here's a glimpse of Erik Lippert's experience. 

🚩 Free trials and promotional offers can be a great way to acquire new loyal customers, but they can also attract fraud and abuse where the service or content is easily resold. Fraud prevention should be considered over the full customer lifecycle, including signup, even where there is no charge. 🏆 Considering potential risks and optimizing the signup or offer redemption process to account for these can help merchants extract the maximum value from their customer acquisition strategies, including the addition of new payment methods. Working together with PSPs and issuers can empower merchants to tackle any harmful end-user activity, and uncover new optimization opportunities to boost revenue. ➡️ Follow us for more insights on local payment methods, risk and fraud. #fraudprevention #riskandfraud #payments
