Unlock more paying users, higher conversion and faster global expansion

Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) gives customers a fast, secure way to pay for digital content – simply charging purchases to their mobile phone bill or pre-paid balance.

Direct Carrier Billing unlocks customer segments traditional payments miss:

  • Underbanked markets
  • Regions with low card penetration
  • Younger audiences without credit cards
  • Consumers who prefer mobile-first payments

What does Direct Carrier Billing give merchants?

Massive reach

Access billions of paying consumers instantly

Higher conversion

Reduce friction and dramatically increase payment conversion

More revenue

Higher uptake means more paid transactions, more often

A trusted payment method

Already familiar and widely adopted globally

Faster global rollout with one integration

Instead of building dozens of direct Telco connections, managing local requirements, or tracking changing APIs, merchants integrate with Bango once.

What you get:

  • Instant access to Bango’s global Telco ecosystem
  • Automatic compatibility with app store and merchant API updates
  • Consistency and reliability across all markets
  • Faster go-live timelines with predictable delivery

This drastically reduces development time and accelerates revenue.
