Switchio Transport
One platform, one step to open-loop EMV fare collection in public transport.
Contactless ticketing improves passenger experience, reduces operating costs for transport providers, and helps make public transport greener.
How it works
Passengers tap their contactless EMV bankcard, smartphone, or other device on validators in stations and vehicles, and the system calculates the best fare based on level of usage. Switchio’s payment switch then optimizes payment transfers between transport providers and acquirers/payment processors.
