Hailo taps into VeriFones open API cloud platform for taxi payments in NYC

Friday 6 September 2013 09:19 CET | News

US-based electronic payment services provider VeriFone Systems and Hailo have unveiled an integration of a 3rd-party e-hailing app with VeriFone’s open API cloud platform, making it possible for Hailo passengers to pay for their fares automatically on e-hailed trips in New York City.

Drivers of VeriFone-equipped cabs who use Hailo will be able to provide passengers with ready access to an enhanced e-hailing experience. The VeriFone platform is currently powering VeriFone’s Way2ride mobile payments app and is already integrated into its in-taxi payments systems in New York City yellow taxis and similarly equipped for-hire vehicles (FHVs) that are now being licensed to increase service to upper Manhattan and the outer boroughs.

Hailo was founded in 2011 as a venture capital backed startup company that matches taxi drivers and passengers through its mobile phone application.

In recent news, VeriFone Systems has rolled out GlobalBay Merchant, a point-of-sale (POS) software platform and support infrastructure designed to enable ISOs and acquirers provide tablet POS services to small and medium businesses (SMBs).
