Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) is a mobile payment method that allows users to charge purchases directly to their mobile phone bills, providing a convenient alternative to traditional payment methods like credit cards. In Kazakhstan, major telecom operators such as Aktiv, Kcell, Beeline, and Tele2 have adopted DCB to enhance user experience and expand payment options for digital goods and services.
