Ingenico Enterprise Retail to launch Open Payment for transport solution in North America

A year ago, Ingenico Enterprise Retail launched its solution for ticketing platforms, including validation equipment and payment environments. Since then, OP2GO has boosted the speed and reliability of public transport services, reducing fare collection costs in some cases by over 30%. Building on these previous successes, OP2GO will soon be implemented by a large transport authority in North America.

Comprised of secure contactless readers supporting both closed- and open-loop cards, inspection devices, a payment gateway and acquiring services, OP2GO integrates with all ticketing platforms. With a scalable suite of solutions, from hardware terminals only (OP2GO Acceptance) to combined hardware and dedicated payment gateway (OP2GO Gateway), Ingenico is able to address a multitude of scenarios of payment project deployment.

Ingenico has collaborated with companies like Visa to help bring contactless tap to pay to transit companies around the world.  For those cities that have already used OP2GO, brand awareness perceived by occasional users is improved, and costs are reduced by avoiding issuing proprietary cards.
