Wirecard, myTaxi partner for mobile payments service

Thursday 19 July 2012 11:41 CET | News

German provider of electronic payment and risk management services Wirecard AG has entered an agreement with Intelligent Apps, the Germany-based startup behind taxi ordering smartphone application myTaxi, to enable myTaxi passengers to use the mobile application to order taxis and pay for their trip.

In order to use myTaxi, customers download the myTaxi application to their smartphones and as an option they can register their payment data in the app. In doing so, the credit card data is transferred via the Wirecard Payment Page and saved using the Wirecard Tokenization Service. If the customer has stored their payment data with Wirecard, when their taxi ride is over they have to confirm the fare using their myTaxi PIN to make payment.

The payment module was launched in Germany in July 2012. The service is set to be launched in H2 2012 in other European cities.
