CAMBRIDGE: Bango Plc, the global platform for data-driven commerce, announced it is powering bundled subscription services for BT, the UK’s leading telecommunications company.
BT has selected the Bango Platform as a key integration point to deliver a range of third-party products and services to its customers. The partnership between Bango and BT will open-up greater entertainment and commerce opportunities for BTs broad customer base.
This first launch for BT is with BritBox, enabling eligible customers to select a 6-month complimentary subscription to the full BritBox digital video service.

Essential features powered by Bango enable accurate offer targeting, simple activation of offers by customers, management of customer entitlements during offer periods, and one-click billing when customers choose to continue enjoying these services at the end of the offer period.
