The mobile smartphone add-on is set to be branded as the ‘myTaxi card reader’. It allows taxi drivers to settle taxi journeys cash-free, including trips that were not ordered using myTaxi. The myTaxi card reader is currently being launched in Germany, Spain and the USA to accept MasterCard and EC-cards, with Visa support currently being planned. The service is also set to be made available in additional countries in the near future.In 2012, myTaxi launched the first mobile payment system with “myTaxi Payment”, which allows taxi journeys to be paid directly from a smartphone to a smartphone in the taxi. The myTaxi app handles the payment process, and Wirecard processes and accepts the stored credit card data. The payment application has been integrated into the existing myTaxi App for drivers, in order to ensure speedy processing. The payment data transfer is encrypted and is in line with current security requirements. The customer confirms payment by signing the smartphone’s touch screen. A receipt can be sent by e-mail if desired.
