SLA Digital, a global leader in direct carrier billing solutions, has announced a partnership with VUZ, the immersive video platform redefining digital experiences through 360° and virtual reality (VR) content. The collaboration will enable VUZ users across the Middle East and Asia to seamlessly subscribe to premium immersive video services by charging payments directly to their mobile phone bills.
VUZ, which has a growing user base of more than 15 million, delivers immersive content spanning live concerts, sports, celebrity interactions, and global events. Its app allows users to engage with panoramic video experiences, controlling viewing angles through interactive screen gestures.
By integrating SLA Digital’s carrier billing technology, VUZ eliminates barriers to premium access, ensuring customers in mobile-first regions can enjoy secure, convenient payments without the need for credit cards or additional intermediaries. SLA Digital, headquartered in the UK and Malaysia, partners with major mobile operators worldwide to power mobile revenues and provide mobile identity solutions.
The rollout of this service has already begun with leading operators in Malaysia and Bahrain, with additional markets expected to follow soon.
Khaled Zaatarah, Founder and CEO of VUZ, described the partnership as “instrumental in strengthening our presence in mobile-centric regions and ensuring our content is easy to access for everyone.”
