Customer Requirements
ČSOB —our long-standing and major client—decided to seize the opportunity to become a key provider of contactless fare payment solutions directly within public transport vehicles in the Czech Republic.
The introduction of contactless payments in transport required ČSOB’s authorization system to be extended with a new module supporting the specific needs of the transport sector. The central authorization system from MONET+ handles all card acceptance processes for more than 60,000 ČSOB terminals. Our company was the natural partner for ČSOB in developing this system
Delivered Solution
Our company quickly succeeded in developing and deploying a transport module within ČSOB’s authorization center.
We identified, tested, and integrated the optimal technology to function as a payment terminal within the vehicle—capable of reading all types of payment cards and reliably supporting the entire cashless fare acceptance process, including reporting adapted to the back-end systems of transport operators. We also developed a suite of applications for terminal management across all required processes
We participated in the implementation of the following transport projects:
Prague – two pilot routes
Brno – airport route (pilot project)
Ostrava
Plzeň
Karlovy Vary
Liberec
Other cities and intercity routes we have helped implement and support include: Mariánské Lázně, Hradec Králové, Třebíč, Tábor, Chomutov – Jirkov, Prague – Kutná Hora, Prague – Rakovník, Prague – Harrachov, Bratislava – Vienna
Customer Benefits
Elimination of cash collection issues on board, significant acceleration of the passenger check-in process, removal of paper tickets, and reduction of fare evasion. Additionally, transaction aggregation leads to savings on transaction fees and enables fare discounts for passengers.
