Direct carrier billing is an online payment method. It allows users to make purchases by charging payments to their mobile phone bill
Direct carrier billing (DCB) is an online mobile payment method which allows users to make purchases by charging payments to their mobile phone carrier bill.[1] The global direct carrier billing market was valued at US$ 29.8 billion in 2019.[2] In July 2020, Juniper Research estimated that in 2019 end users around the world spent approximately US$ 33 billion via carrier billing.[3]
The method is useful in developing countries and undeveloped areas where credit card usage is not widespread. In India, only two percent of the population have a credit card whereas mobile phones are widespread.[4]
