avoid regulatory fines and protect
your brand
Customer complaints and fraud can jeopardise DCB wholesale revenue, attracting fines and regulatory scrutiny.
Leaving risk management and compliance to other players is not an option. Instead, mobile carriers need to take control of Due Diligence and Risk Control (DDRC) to protect their DCB business, customers and brand reputation.
With budgetary constraints often demoting DDRC to a ‘nice to have’ instead of a ‘must have’, DDRC as a Service provides a flexible and affordable way to protect your DCB business.
Due Diligence and Risk Control (DDRC), encompasses a comprehensive set of practices and measures to ensure compliance, mitigate risks, and safeguard the interests of both customers and partners in the value chain.
In the context of DCB, Due Diligence refers to the thorough pre-contract assessment and verification of the various entities involved in the billing process and provision of services.
Risk Control pertains to the implementation of measures aimed at identifying, mitigating, and managing potential risks associated with DCB.
