In recent years, many sectors in the world have been developing new methods of payment that are suitable for them. One of the sectors most affected by this evolution is transportation. Previously, many transportation services provided various payment facilities to their users, generally through applications. The innovation we will talk about now is “How much easier can it be?” the kind that makes you say.
BiTaksi, the application that has been used for years to easily call a taxi, cooperates with Mastercard and eliminates the POS conversation in taxis. Launching the new BiTaksiPOS feature, BiTaksi offers taxi drivers the opportunity to use their phones as POS devices. Working with Mastercard’s Tap-on-Phone feature, BiTaksiPOS is a world first for this sector.
No need for POS device in taxi
Payment with BiTaksiPOS is completed in seconds, when the passenger brings the credit or debit card with the contactless payment feature closer to the driver’s phone. Thus, the malfunction or absence of the POS does not prevent contactless and cashless payments. Another benefit provided to drivers with BiTaksiPOS is that transaction earnings are deposited into their existing accounts twice a day, without waiting for maturity. Passengers who make their payments with BiTaksiPOS are offered advantageous payments with the lowest commission rates in the industry. Passengers can access the information slip by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen of the driver application after payment, on their phone.
BiTaksi CEO Kaan Sancaklı, who made statements about the new payment feature, explains the event with these words: “As the industry’s leading application, we offer an alternative payment solution with our new product BiTaksiPOS, in addition to our millions of monthly journeys. With BiTaksiPOS, thanks to NFC technology, passengers can now pay instantly with BiTaksiPOS, with the Mastercard infrastructure and assurance, whether they take the taxi from the road or from the station. Currently, 35 percent of trips are made via online payment. Now, we have offered BiTaksiPOS to taxi users as an alternative payment method that will completely eliminate the need for cash in taxis. We save drivers from the trouble of carrying coins, passengers carrying cash or visiting ATMs, thus saving time and convenience. With BiTaksiPOS, we aim to offer safe and contactless payment convenience to tens of thousands of journeys every day. ”
