As advanced in a previous article, direct operator billing, on which SMS+ and Internet+ are based, is
an infrastructure that is different from traditional payment systems provided
by banks. This means that it promotes financial inclusion.
Indeed, previously unbanked and underbanked customers were
unable to pay online because they did not have credit or debit cards and a form
of banking identification was needed to validate a settlement. Now, with the
introduction of carrier billing, that is not the case. When this solution is
leveraged, network service providers are the ones processing transactions. As
such, to purchase an item, you just need a mobile
account and a device that is connected to the Web. Since more people have smartphones than bank
accounts, direct operator billing is used more. Thus, Digital Global Pass
offers everyone equal opportunities to process microtransactions.
Moreover, this solution places a lot of importance on cybersecurity
and data protection, which is a main concern among online shoppers these days.
Indeed, nobody wants their personal information to be accessed and misused by
unauthorised users. With SMS+ and Internet+, you do not have to fill in forms
with details such as your name, address or identification number to validate a
payment. Thus, you are protected.
