Meetic Group integrates Gemalto's Netsize direct mobile operator billing to offer seamless mobile payment for users
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, May 18, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, is supplying Meetic Group, European leader of dating
services, with its Netsize direct operator billing solution. The 20 million
mobile subscribers of Numericable-SFR, France's leading cable and telecoms
provider are now able to pay for subscriptions and services quickly and easily
via their regular phone bill. This service can ultimately be extended to other
mobile operators and European countries served by Meetic Group.
Meetic customers are offered the new option on the company's online payment
page, alongside existing credit and debit card facilities. Those choosing direct
carrier billing are identified automatically via their mobile phone, eliminating
the need to enter their number manually. Meetic is therefore able to reach
millions more customers that either do not have access to a bank card, or simply
prefer the speed and simplicity of paying from a mobile device via their
existing phone bill.
Meetic Group can scale up this new payment channel rapidly with additional
mobile operators and in countries beyond France as Gemalto is responsible for
managing the technical platform behind the direct carrier billing process. It
also supports detailed reporting that can automatically be integrated into
Meetic's system, giving the company a clear view of upcoming payments and return
on investment. Netsize also provides analytics (payment count, billing rate)
accessible through a cloud-based platform with a web interface that allows
immediate consultation and/or extraction of reports for integration in the
customer's own reporting tools.
"Direct carrier billing is a flexible and innovative way to enhance mobile
conversion with a frictionless payment user experience," said Aude Kuznik,
Payment Manager of Meetic Group. "We've chosen Gemalto for their established
relationships with mobile operators, global presence and a proven track record."
"This contract with Meetic Group reflects our commitment to working as a payment
services provider for digital enterprises in diverse vertical markets such as
social communities, transport, gaming, e-publications and music," said Benoit
Bole, Senior Vice President of Netsize at Gemalto. "With direct carrier billing,
companies across all these sectors can achieve an immediate step change in
customer service and market reach, improving sales revenues and
profitability."
