New York City Offering More Mobile Payment Options for Taxis, With Hailo Jumping On Board
E-hail app Hailo is now using VeriFone’s API to offer in-app payments for New York City taxi riders. In other words, a taxi customer can now both hail and pay for the cab using the Hailo app — provided that the driver is using Hailo, too — while Hailo uses VeriFone’s system on the back end to process the payments. The new Hailo feature comes on the heels of VeriFone announcing its payment app for NYC taxis a couple weeks ago; VeriFone is one of two payments companies that processes all the credit card transactions for New York City taxicab rides.News Byte
Mobile Payments Come to New York City Taxicabs Via VeriFone’s Way2ride App
VeriFone, one of the two companies that processes credit card transactions in New York City taxicabs, has launched a mobile payments app that lets riders pay with their smartphones. The app, Way2ride, is free to download, and will run on iOS and Android smartphones. Currently, the three e-hail apps that are part of a test pilot in New York City don’t offer e-payments in the New York market, as they’ve been required to use either VeriFone or Creative Media Technologies as the payments processor. VeriFone said it plans to offer Way2ride throughout its network of 70,000 payment-enabled taxis around the world.News Byte
