DIRECT CARRIER BILLING (DCB)

With SadeleCo, subscribers can purchase digital content, buy products or services and charge it straight to their mobile bill, making the user experience quick and easy. SadeleCo will even manage the entire payment process, from technical integration to business development – which means we can drive up revenue and bring down costs.

Direct Carrier Billing also delivers outstanding subscriber loyalty through value-added services and the ability to buy things on the smartphone without having to enter card or bank details – everything is billed straight to the mobile phone number.

Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) presents a huge opportunity for carriers and content providers to create new revenue streams.

SADELECO offers mobile operators a managed service solution that significantly reduces risk by taking ownership of the entire process from technical integration to business development, committing to maximizing revenues for all parties.

Carrier billing is growing in the markets where card-based payments are not popular, and it is often the only way for users to purchase (content, hardware, software, and services).

SadeleCo DCB is not just targeting online purchasing but offline too and for both services and goods.
