Wirecard provides payment services for BluTV

May 20, 2019 08.53 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

Turkish streaming service BluTV has selected German digital payment solutions provider Wirecard to support its global expansion.

Wirecard will provide the SVOD platform, which offers Turkish content to over 4 million subscribers, with digital payment solutions across Europe.

“As the first Turkish digital platform to go truly global, it is essential that we have an experienced partner by our side,” said Alptug Copuroglu, head of international at BluTV. “Wirecard’s long-standing experience in digital payments is instrumental in enabling us to grow our streaming subscription services beyond Turkey. We look forward to continue bringing our broad content offering to millions of viewers around the world.”

Boris Bongartz, head of sales digital goods at Wirecard, added: “Streaming subscription services are growing at an incredibly fast pace. Our digital payment services will allow BluTV users to have a smooth and enjoyable customer experience, and focus on their main objective: enjoying great TV content, no matter where in the world they are.”

BluTV is available globally with the offer including Turkish series, BluTV original series and mainstream TV series from around the world. In addition to the European expansion, BluTV is focusing on further strengthening its position in the MENA and Latin American markets.
