Product Definition:
Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) is a process by which a customer's wireless service provider bills the customer for goods or services purchased from a third-party merchant. The process eliminates the need for the customer to provide payment information to the merchant, and allows the purchase to be charged directly to the customer's wireless account. Direct Carrier Billing is also referred to as Mobile Payment, Wireless Payment or Remote Payment.
The use of Direct Carrier Billing provides several benefits for both merchants and customers. For merchants, DCB eliminates the need for customers to enter payment information, reducing checkout time and improving conversion rates. Additionally, as payments are processed through mobile carriers rather than credit card companies, merchants incur lower processing fees. For customers, DCB offers an easy and convenient way to make purchases without having to remember multiple usernames and passwords or worrying about security risks associated with providing credit card information online.
