Imagine boarding an electric bus, trolleybus, cable car, or the Limache–Puerto train in Valparaíso and simply tapping your bank card or scanning a QR code to pay. No complicated transactions. No cash. Just fast, secure, and modern travel.
This isn’t the future—it’s the reality we helped bring to life through our Switchio solution, in collaboration with Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado – Grupo EFE, Mastercard and SONDA. Valparaíso has become the first city in Chile—and the entire Southern Cone—to deploy this technology across four different transport systems, significantly enhancing the efficiency, security, and accessibility of public
transit.
“Our collaboration with EFE, Mastercard, and SONDA has positioned Chile as a regional leader in transport innovation. By enabling a seamless, secure, and integrated payment experience, we are reshaping public transportation—and this is just the beginning!” – Eduardo Vejarano, Account Manager for Latin America, Switchio
