BPC and DSK Bank partner to enable contactless payments in Bulgaria

 BPC’s smart city payment division  O-CITY  has partnered with DSK Bank in Bulgaria and its subsidiary DSK Mobile, both part of OTP Group and local operator CNS, delivering the new ticketing system overseen by the Sofia Urban Mobility Center.

Passengers can now pay using contactless Visa or Mastercard bank cards issued by any bank or FinTech company across the world or respective NFC mobile wallet, in 3,900 validators installed across the capital’s public ground transportation system, including buses, trams, trolleybuses.

O-CITY ensures passengers can seamlessly and securely tap-to-pay with their bank card in public transport or any other means of payment, wallet, QR code and more. Using a BPC eCommerce solution for DSK Bank, the SUMC web portal provides functionality to pre-purchase a travel subscription on close loop transport cards, completing the full scale of digital payments for public transport services.

This flexibility in payments is possible with O-CITY’s open-loop technologies, which helps operators expand the choice for payment and transition to contactless payments. The solution has already been implemented in over 130 cities worldwide and quickly adopted by travellers, leading to a rapid return on investment for operators and governments.
