Carrier billing: why is it an important tech?

 

The payment solutions offered by Digital Global Pass are based on carrier billing. What is it and why is it important? This is a new tech created by telecommunications companies and fintech firms. It has revolutionised the financial industry in two ways.

First of all, this settlement system promotes financial inclusion. How so? Well, it works in such a way that you only need a mobile account to use SMS+ and Internet+. Previously, online buying facilities were restricted to those having a bank account or a credit card. Well, not everyone has one of those. In contrast, a larger part of the population has a smartphone. This means that more people are able to complete microtransactions.

The second aspect is related to cybersecurity. Data protection is a huge issue among both customers and sellers. Thanks to carrier billing, SMS+ and Internet+, you can pay online without disclosing any of your personal details on the Web. This will make sure that you are protected against unauthorised users trying to access and misuse sensitive information such as your name, address or credit card number. As such, online shoppers do not have to worry about anything when using SMS+ or Internet+ to purchase products on the Web.
