Netflix – Please activate BBPS as a Payment Channel


As a Netflix member, you are charged once a month on the date you signed up.


Simple, you are charged with the chosen payment method.

Netflix subscribes have several payment options: -

Local Credit and Debit Cards

Netflix accepts the following locally issued cards (requires secondary authentication), which must be enabled for recurring e-commerce transactions.

NOTE: You may need to enable your card for international transactions.

International cards are only accepted for members currently paying with an international card.

Visa

MasterCard

American Express

Diners

Virtual Cards

Netflix accepts virtual cards in select markets. If your virtual card is declined, please choose a different payment method.

Prepaid Cards

Netflix accepts prepaid cards with the following logos.

Visa

MasterCard

American Express

Third-party Billing

The following partners allow you to add your Netflix subscription to their bill.

ACT

Airtel

Vodafone

However, BBPS is not yet a payment option for Netflix subscribers.  

There is a huge market for one-off shows in our country. Short-term i.e 72 hours, 108 hours etc rather than only monthly subscription plans.

Of course, monthly subscription plans are good for the company to collect monies without much effort.

But, short-term plans can do wonders for Netflix and BBPS can be the preferred payment channel for Netflix short term customers.

But, Netflix has a huge library of Shows and short term plans will attract more number of viewers. Viewers who may convert into monthly subscribers and who may consume only short term subscription plans.

Either way, Netflix is the winner.

Yes, slight tweaking of Netflix billing plans is required, but this is not very difficult to achieve.

And, India’s own Billing Platform i.e BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment System) can enable Netflix to quickly set up multiple billing plans.

No need to depend on subscribers who need bank accounts.

No need to depend on subscribers whose bank accounts i.e credit cards or debit cards support subscription plans.

No need to depend on multiple payment gateway providers
