In the continuing effort to deliver a universal service experience to smartphone users, Hutch, the preferred choice for mobile broadband services in Sri Lanka has collaborated with the leading mobile technology company, Fortumo.
The Fortumo partnership will enable Hutch customers direct carrier billing access allowing subscribers hassle free payments for digital subscriptions of top international content services through their Hutch post-paid or pre-paid mobile balance.
Fortumo direct carrier billing comes to the fore as a secure online payment method that caters to today’s wide-reaching customers’ needs. What’s significant about this service is that the user does not need to create any account or share personal data and the bill is directly charged from the main account balance in a simple 2-step verification process.
Recently in Asia, Fortumo has announced the launch of direct carrier billing with the Bangladeshi mobile operator Grameenphone in December of last year.

A growing proportion of the digital content audience is located in emerging markets such as Sri Lanka. These local users can not be reached through traditional payment and marketing channels.
