The technology allows customers to qualify for the opportunity to subscribe to Amazon’s video services as part of their mobile phone contract plan.
Amazon's initial launch for mobile carrier billing was with India’s largest mobile network operator, Bharti Airtel.
Bango said that its technology will allow mobile customers to receive access to Amazon Prime Video from the moment they become active and for as long as they continue to subscribe and pay their mobile bills.
Ray Anderson, chief executive of Bango, said: "Bango technology enables our customers to thrive by acquiring new users. Global merchants can offer their customers market leading products such as video and music services, home security, e-sports services and many more."
Bango offers a payment platform that aims to help influential companies to grow their sales faster in a new age of connected commerce.
