Transport operators, governmental authorities and transit solution providers are initiating a profound transformation of the transit system, to encourage the use of public transports throught open payment technologies and innovations.
Mobility-as-a-Service
is a model that modern and smart cities are embracing to offer
a seamless travelling experience to their passengers at all point of
their journey.
How
to meet the challenge of smart mobility?
The
challenge for cities and payment solution providers is to propose a
multi-modal and flexible strategy to unify payments during the
complete journey.
Open-loop
payments have widely been adopted in metros and buses network
globally. However, travelling around cities may still generate
frustration when consumers can pay only in cash for bike renting or
car sharing.
In
the context of smart mobility and the rise of pay-as-you-go
transactions, SoftPOS is an innovative solution, allowing any seller
of good or service to accept payment cards using only their
smartphone, no matter where they are. The softPOS is the ideal
solution to unify all actors in the urban mobility plan.
How
does it works?
SoftPOS
is a lightweight and affordable solution, allowing any merchant in
any environment to accept contactless payments with only their
smartphone or tablet, without extra hardware needed. Transport users
simply need to hold their payment card or other smart payment method,
tapping it at the back of the seller’s smartphone to pay.
The
SoftPOS solution offers a simple alternative to traditional payment
terminal. It embeds EMV payment software and meets the tap-to-phone
requirements issued by major payment schemes.
It
provides a high-end level of security and data protection, using
tokenisation and other encryption methods to ensure the safety of
sensitive transaction data all the way throught the digital payment
process.
