Fonix provides a direct mobile operator billing platform for minibus operators, allowing the latest payment technology to be expanded to low-volume and/or rural routes for a modest outlay.
In a nutshell, it allows users to have the fare charged to their mobile phone bill in just a couple of taps, without needing to enter their credit or debit card details. Besides making payment a lot more practical, is also speeds the transaction and makes travelling more attractive.
“We believe that major cities always receive the best payment technology first, and that is especially true in the transport sector,” says a Fonix representative.
“Paying for public transport in suburban or rural areas is often impractical, calling for cash or longwinded mobile/online payments that require all of a passenger’s credit card details.”
Within the last year, Fonix has processed over £115m of end user spend. Many of the UK’s leading brands use its services.
