Boku, Inc., a global mobile payment solutions provider, has announced the addition of BLIK as a Form of Payment in Poland for Google, marking its first local payment method ("LPM") connection for Google. This move extends Boku's existing relationship with Google through Direct Carrier Billing ("DCB"). With this launch, 16.3 million active BLIK users in Poland can now utilize this payment method when making purchases from the Google Play store, providing them with a preferred payment option.
The National Bank of Poland has classified BLIK as an important payment system in the Polish market, with evidence showing that BLIK is the most frequently used payment method for online purchases in Poland. Stuart Neal, Boku's CEO, expressed satisfaction with the development, stating, "We are very pleased to see BLIK go live as a payment option for Google in Poland. This is our first LPM connection with Google, a company we have had a relationship with for a number of years through them using our DCB services."
Magdalena Kubisa, Director Of Business Development at BLIK, also commented on the collaboration, saying, "BLIK is a versatile payment method that is already the top choice for online purchase for many Poles. Therefore, we are delighted to expand our network of availability, and through collaboration with Boku, BLIK will be one of the available payment methods for Google Play. For us, this is another strategic step in the development and dissemination of our system. We hope that the service will generate broad interest."
