Boku Inc. has divested Boku Identity to Twilio Inc.

Februar 2022 — Boku Inc, a leading mobile payment solutions provider and one of AIM’s largest technology companies, has sold its Boku Identity division, a wholly owned subsidiary, to Twilio Inc.

Boku Identity provides mobile identity and authentication solutions driven by real-time connections to mobile network operators. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Boku Inc, a leading mobile payment solutions provider and one of AIM’s largest technology companies.

Founded in 2008, Twilio is a leading US-based cloud communications platform.
