carrier payments

NTT Docomo sold its global payment business to Bango for €4 million and inked a long-term deal to use the UK-based company’s platform for payment processing in Japan.

Juniper Research stated operators stood to make significant gains from direct carrier billing (DCB) services over the next five years, fuelled by rising adoption of digital services by consumers.

Google is reportedly in discussions with India’s large mobile operator, Bharti Airtel, to work out a deal on carrier billing, which allows customers to pay for digital goods directly through their mobile operator.
