Cambridge, UK, 07 May 2026 - Bango (AIM: BGO), announces an agreement with LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network, to join the Digital Vending Machine® (DVM™) from Bango. This partnership enables LinkedIn to broaden the reach of its Premium subscription through bundling partnerships with telcos, banks, retailers and more.
LinkedIn Premium offers enhanced tools for job seekers, professionals and businesses to expand their network, gain insights and increase visibility.

Subscription hubs are emerging as a key model, enabling users to discover, manage and pay for multiple subscription services in one place. By bringing together leading services and distribution partners including telcos, banks and retailers, the Bango DVM is designed to remove complexity, accelerate time to market and create more compelling, personalized bundled experiences for consumers.
