DIMOCO, a leading Austrian licensed payment institute and carrier billing provider, enables Drei Österreich to work as an agent under its Austrian payment license. Strengthening DIMOCO’s position as a leader in the carrier billing ecosystem.
By operating under DIMOCO’s financial license, Drei ensures full compliance with PSD2 regulation, enabling them to offer carrier billing as a payment method for both digital and non-digital goods and services.
Under PSD2, carrier billing can only be used for digital goods and services. What counts as a digital good and/or service has been interpreted differently across different jurisdictions. However, by using the Agent Model, MNOs can provide carrier billing services to any vertical, such as mobility, food delivery, and EV charging. The Agent Model also removes the regulatory payment limits of 50 euros per transaction and 300 euros per month. It is up to the MNO to decide a payment limit depending on the risk profile of the merchant.
“Partnering with Drei Österreich marks another important milestone for DIMOCO,” said Clemens Leitner, CEO of DIMOCO. “We now work with all the Austrian mobile network operators under the Agent Model. Providing secure, compliant, and frictionless user experience for consumers and merchants.”
This development reinforces DIMOCO’s commitment to enabling innovative mobile payment solutions and offering direct access to mobile operators across Europe. Merchants now benefit from:
- Increased reach to Austrian consumers through Drei’s mobile network, along with access to all major Austrian MNOs
- A simple and secure payment experience
- Rapid integration and setup
“We are pleased to partner with DIMOCO. This collaboration allows us to offer our customers a seamless, secure, and user-friendly payment experience for both digital and non-digital services,” said Bernhard Sommer, Head of Wholesale – Strategy & Services of Drei Österreich. “DIMOCO’s strong track record and regulatory expertise make them an ideal partner as we continue to expand our offerings and simplify mobile commerce for our users.”
As the CB market continues to grow, DIMOCO remains at the forefront, empowering access to the digital economy through strategic partnerships and a robust financial infrastructure.
