Bango has recently expanded its reach, with LinkedIn integrating into its Digital Vending Machine platform in May 2026. The company reported positive cash EBITDA for fiscal year 2025, driven by a 30% year-on-year growth in recurring revenue from its DVM, which saw a 60% increase in managed subscriptions to over 24 million. The DVM is utilized by seven of the top eight US telecommunication companies and is expanding into new global markets.
