DIMOCO to Showcase the Latest in Carrier Billing, Mobile Messaging and Payment Service at Mobile World Congress 2017

 

Barcelona & Vienna 20 February 2017 – DIMOCO today announced it will showcase the latest trends and innovations in carrier billing, mobile messaging and payment services at Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, February 27 to March 2, at the App Planet Hall 8.1, stand #8.1A67.

 

“It has been a tremendous ride for DIMOCO since the last Mobile World Congress, and this successful industry momentum will be a key area of focus at this year’s show,” said Gerald Tauchner, DIMOCO president and CEO. “The combined presence of the three DIMOCO business entities will encapsulate everything attendees need to know about carrier billing, mobile messaging and payment services.”

DIMOCO to Release the “Future of Digital Payments in Europe 2017”

 DIMOCO’s 2017 publication of “The Future of Digital Payments in Europe” white paper will, once again, be released at the Mobile World Congress. This white paper provides an essential appraisal of the key trends for both carrier billing and payment services in a rapidly developing marketplace. The publication highlights the primary factors shaping market growth and presents a series of recommendations for current and prospective players across the payments value chain. Show attendees can collect a copy of the publication at the DIMOCO exhibition stand.

DIMOCO Carrier Billing Strengthens Presence in Europe and Expands into MENA and Asia Markets

“New carrier billing verticals are poised for strong growth in 2017,” continued Tauchner. “As proof of this opportunity, DIMOCO recently signed its first customer in the iGaming industry in Europe, further strengthening our core business in the region. With this momentum in place, DIMOCO is also on track to gain a foothold in new MENA and Asian markets.”

DIMOCO Carrier Billing has a unique position in the industry as one of the first companies to become a regulated payment institute. In compliance with the requirements of the Payment Services Directive (PSD) and the respective EU-regulations, DIMOCO since MWC 2016 attained a payment service act license from the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA), which was then passported to all 28 EU member states.

 DIMOCO Payment Services to Makes Mobile World Congress Debut

Launched in late 2016, DIMOCO Payment Services introduces merchants to a new way of understanding payments and proactively increase their conversions. The innovative payment service provider (PSP), with a strikingly merchant-centric approach, offers tailor-made solutions for merchants, highly adaptable checkout-pages, risk- and fraud-management tools and dynamic reporting. The state-of-the-art platform is expandable and easy to integrate, aiming to proactively increase success rates through constant and personal monitoring of all transactions.

DIMOCO Messaging to Showcase Advanced Features for its Carrier-Grade Messaging Platform

DIMOCO Messaging powers communications between companies and consumers through their preferred SMS channel.  The company will feature its new carrier-grade messaging platform with advanced capabilities at this year’s Mobile World Congress. The geo-redundant platform supports multiple protocols and interfaces, including powerful features necessary to support businesses in transmitting mission-critical and time-sensitive messages ranging from financial services to retail, healthcare to advertising and much more. The new messaging platform continues to deliver the highest standards of security and reliability while combining state-of-the-art APIs helping to reduce the complexity of sending text messages worldwide and improve customer experience.

“To keep pace with the changing communications landscape, businesses must engage with their customers through the most trusted communication channel on a truly global scale,” said Mathias Höllerl, managing director, DIMOCO Messaging.  “With our industry expertise and unique DIMOCO Messaging platform, these businesses can leverage a direct communication channel to targeted consumers to generate business results.”

Mobile World Congress attendees are encouraged to book an appointment and visit the DIMOCO exhibition stand to speak to the DIMOCO team to learn more about the three DIMOCO business entities.

DIMOCO Unveils “The Future of Digital Payments in Europe” at Mobile World Congress 2017

White paper features essential appraisal of the key trends for both carrier billing and payment services in a rapidly developing digital payments marketplace

 Barcelona & Vienna 27 February 2017 – DIMOCO today announces the release of the 2017 publication of “The Future of Digital Payments in Europe” white paper at Mobile World Congress.

 Developed in a joint effort between DIMOCO and Juniper Research, this year’s report marks the fourth annual publication of DIMOCO’s white paper to provide comprehensive insights into the European digital payment market.

 The publication presents the primary factors shaping industry growth and assessing the opportunities presented by emerging payment mechanisms, including carrier billing, credit and debit cards, SEPA direct debit and SEPA credit transfers. Insights also include a series of recommendations for current and prospective players across the payments value chain.

“Online merchants are facing a real threat of losing customers over lack of payment choices,” said Gerald Tauchner, president & CEO. “As competition in the online space intensifies, merchants that offer payment choices and an optimal payment experience will not only ensure the acquisition of a single transaction, but more importantly a loyal customer for the long term.”

Additional takeaways from “The Future of Digital Payments in Europe” 2017 publication includes:

Mobile Payment Market Growth on the Rise:

  • In 2015, the value of mobile and online physical, virtualised and digital goods sales in Europe passed the €500 billion mark for the first time, reaching €570 billion.
  • Overwhelmingly, the momentum for growth comes from the mobile devices becoming primary mechanisms for the access, payment and (for digital goods) delivery of services.

Carrier Billing Revenue Forecast Shows Significant Growth:

  • Revenues from digital content billed via carrier billing in Europe will increase sharply to more than €11.5 billion by 2021 (average annual increase of 27%)
  • Carrier billing is believed to account for around 21% of all European digital content billing by 2021 (presently 11%)

 Industry Growth and Legislation Drive Increasing Need for Payment Services:  

  • European credit/debit card spend on digital content will reach €36 billion by 2021 (average annual increase of 7.9%)
  • With the increasing liberalisation of the European payments market, enshrined in key legislation such as PSD (Payments Service Directive) and PSD2, the traditional banking monopoly of offering SEPA direct debit services has eroded, allowing payment service providers to enter the space.

 

Show attendees can collect a copy of the publication at the DIMOCO exhibition stand at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, February 27 to March 2, at the App Planet Hall 8.1, stand #8.1A67 or download a copy.
