Singapore-founded startups Boxo and Airalo have announced a partnership with Canadian fintech KOHO, following their strategic eSIM Miniapp collaboration. KOHO, a Canadian fintech , is launching a new eSIM feature within its money management platform. This collaboration aims to provide over 1.7 million KOHO users with effortless global connectivity, enhancing their digital travel experience by allowing them to purchase and activate eSIMs directly within the app.
With traditional roaming fees ranging from $12 to $16 per day, KOHO’s new eSIM feature offers Canadians an affordable alternative, potentially saving them hundreds of dollars on travel.
“The integration of Boxo’s miniapp technology, provided by Airalo’s eSIM solution, within our app is a significant milestone in our journey to be the best account for Canadian travellers” said KOHO CPO, Jack Chung. “We are excited about the possibilities this partnership with Boxo and Airalo brings, and we look forward to continuing to innovate for our users.”
Through this partnership, Boxo will deliver an eSIM miniapp that is seamlessly integrated into KOHO’s app via the Boxo Miniapp Platform. With a single integration into the Boxo SDK, KOHO can significantly streamline development, reduce maintenance complexities, and deliver a cohesive user experience. Powered by Airalo’s eSIM API, this integration ensures that KOHO’s users can effortlessly access global mobile networks in over 200 countries and regions worldwide, while KOHO benefits from faster time-to-market and simplified technical management.
“We are thrilled to work with KOHO to bring this eSIM technology to their users, enhancing their connectivity and expanding the value of their financial management app,” said Kaniyet Rayev, CEO & Founder at Boxo. “The rising trend of synergy between telecommunications and fintech is creating new opportunities for innovation, and we are excited to be at the forefront of this movement. Partnering with KOHO allows us to combine our expertise in delivering seamless digital experiences with KOHO’s commitment to providing top-tier financial solutions for their customers.”
KOHO users can now access mobile networks in over 200 countries without needing a physical SIM card. This new feature allows users to purchase and activate eSIMs entirely within the KOHO app, providing a seamless, all-in-one connectivity experience. Additionally, KOHO’s ‘Extra’ customers receive 1GB of complimentary data each month, while ‘Everything’ customers get 3GB, both of which can be activated directly within the KOHO app.
“We’re excited to partner with KOHO and Boxo to deliver our eSIM solution to KOHO users,” said Ravish Doctor, CCO at Airalo. “By integrating our eSIM technology into KOHO’s digital wallet, we’re making global connectivity more accessible and seamless for millions of users. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s digital-first consumers.”
