cEMV EXPERTISE

Fast, efficient and easy to use

 

The UK payment industry and transport sector has developed guidelines and rules for use of contactless payment cards in transit. We can help you understand these payment mechanisms and achieve compliance whilst avoiding pitfalls and delay. Smartran is a member of the VISA Ready Programme and has advised on multiple Transit EMV schemes.

 

Outside London many operators have implemented their own contactless acceptance, however, typically are not integrated with other operators and services. We can help you progress to the next stage where contactless is accepted by multiple operators and modes including local rail, tram, ferry
and bus (with touch on/off and fixed fares). Customers are charged the correct fare for the journey and can also benefit from off peak fares, zonal caps, daily caps, multi-day caps and green travel incentives.
