AGM Trading Update & Momentum in Latin America

Bango (AIM: BGO), the mobile payment company, issues the following trading statement which is being released to coincide with its Annual General Meeting which will be held today at 14.00 BST at 5 Westbrook Centre, Cambridge, CB4 1YG.

In March 2015, Bango forecast that end-user spend transacted through its platform would grow by at least 100% to over £65m ($101m) annualized run rate by December 2015. Bango is pleased to report that end user spend is growing in line with this expectation, at an accelerating rate of growth. 

In addition, Bango also disclosed a healthy pipeline of 30 activations which were already scheduled for launch in 2015 and which were expected to contribute further to end user spend growth. Bango is pleased to report that 15 of these activations are now live, and expects further activations to convert in the first half of 2015.

Among those activations now live, Bango has launched four new carrier billing markets in Latin America during the month of May 2015. These, together with other new activations this year, demonstrate a positive trajectory for growth in end user spend transacted through the Bango platform in 2015 and beyond.
