Telecom companies provide essential services like mobile data, airtime, broadband, and subscription-based communication services. Efficient payment management is key for:

Collecting payments for mobile plans, data bundles, and airtime top-ups.
Handling B2B settlements for wholesale bandwidth providers and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs).
Automating recurring payments for postpaid customers.
Processing international remittances for mobile money services.

The Problem

Telecom operators face several challenges in payment processing:

Fragmented Payment Channels: Customers use different methods like mobile money, bank transfers, and cards, making payments complex.
Delayed Reconciliation: Manual settlement processes slow down revenue tracking and vendor payouts.
Fraud Risks in Recharge & Billing: Telecom transactions are prone to fraud, requiring secure payment solutions.
High Payment Processing Costs: Managing multiple payment integrations increases operational expenses.
Cross-Border Transactions: International mobile top-ups and bill payments need seamless currency conversion and automated settlements.
