Amdocs, the leading provider of customer experience systems and services, announced that XL Axiata Indonesia, has deployed its cloud-based "as a service" mobile payment gateway solution. The mobile payment solution enables XL Axiata to provide direct carrier billing for leading app stores.
“More than 80 percent of the Indonesian population does not have a bank account or credit card, but almost all have a mobile phone,” said Dian Siswarini, Chief of Digital Services at XL Axiata. “With Amdocs, we enable our 49.1 million mobile subscribers to participate in the booming digital economy by buying digital goods like apps, games, music and ebooks using their XL mobile account. The Amdocs Mobile Payments solution offers XL Axiata’s customers a frictionless payment experience in the leading app stores, making XL Axiata the first to market with new partners and innovative services.”
“Recent research by Amdocs and Juniper Research showed that the seamless payment experience of Direct Carrier Billing increases app store sales conversions by up to five times,” said Rebecca Prudhomme, vice president for product and solution marketing at Amdocs. “This is most evident in emerging markets like Indonesia where the majority of the population is unbanked. Amdocs’ highly scalable mobile payments solution is pre-integrated with leading app stores and aggregators, readying mobile operators to quickly monetize their consumers’ digital consumption.”
