Mobile checkout integrated into transportation ticketing app by Barclay\u2019s Pingit<\/p>\n

Barclay\u2019s Pingit mobile payments service is teaming up with Corethree to bring the financial institution\u2019s mobile checkout to public transportation customers in Britain.<\/p>\n

Corethree offers a mobile wallet for transport ticketing in Britain. By including Barclays Pingit in its wallet, Corethree can offer users more flexibility in how they pay for tickets.<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding a variety of native payment solutions within the application enhances the\u00a0customer\u00a0experience by allowing them the same type of purchasing experience that they currently enjoy from their favorite websites and ecommerce sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the U.S. this includes integrating with payment option like PayPal and eventually electronic\u00a0wallet\u00a0providers\u00a0as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mobile checkout<\/strong>
\n<\/b>Pingit was introduced in early 2012, enabling users to make person-to-person payments.<\/p>\n

The app\u2019s breadth of services have been expanded several times since to include mobile payments from NFC tags and mobile checkout for Web sites and print ads.<\/p>\n

Corethree reports that it is the first business to integrate Barclays Pingit mobile checkout, enabling bus passengers to browse, select, purchase and use bus tickets from their mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Over the next 12 months, Corethree and Barclays will roll out their mobile payment services to other transport operators, with the goal of reaching up to 1 million passenger journeys per day.<\/p>\n

The service will be available via Android and iPhone devices on any mobile network.<\/p>\n

Mobile payments entry<\/strong>
\n<\/b>Public transportation organizations around the world are embracing mobile ticketing to make it easy for riders to purchase and use tickets from their smartphones. Enabling users to purchase transit tickets anywhere at any time that can be used. Last year, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority rolled out a new mobile ticketing service, giving commuters a way to purchase and display rail tickets on their smartphones.<\/p>\n

\u201cTransit is an\u00a0integral\u00a0part of consumers\u2019 daily lives, and as such providing consumers with a secure way to pay with\u00a0their\u00a0phone and not have to carry cash or exact change is a great starting point for people to get comfortable using mobile payments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile ticketing is a great way to introduce customers to making payments from\u00a0their\u00a0mobile device.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
