Bango ensures broader payments services in Europe

FCA license ensures Bango supports comprehensive payments services in Europe

Cambridge UK, 31 May 2018. Bango (AIM: BGO), the mobile commerce company, announces that it has extended its Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) license as an approved payment provider. The FCA license ensures the conditions for Bango partners to offer alternative payments more comprehensively, for all types of goods across Europe.

The latest European Payment Services Directive (PSD2) underpins a well-regulated payments ecosystem to stimulate the next wave of online services. Today's announcement demonstrates the strong position Bango has in payments, and its commitment to supporting payments diversity and choice, while maintaining first class standards in compliance.

Bango has established a global market leadership position in alternative payments. Using the Bango Platform, merchants can collect online payments for digital goods and services, as well as physical goods, that reach billions of internet users worldwide. These payment methods include carrier billing, mobile wallets, as well as emerging electronic currencies.

Thousands of digital merchants benefit from Bango technology when customers pay for their products through online stores, such as the Google Play store for Android smartphones and other connected devices, and Microsoft Store for Xbox and PC. Amazon uses the Bango Platform to extend customer payment choice for retail goods and services in Japan, and to offer the Prime subscription service in India.
