PayByPhone to introduce Apple Pay to UK this summer
In light of recent data breaches across the UK, PayByPhone continues to expand
its lead on data security
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - April 26, 2017) - PayByPhone, the app
that lets you pay for parking using your smartphone launches Apple Pay,
solidifying its place as the global leader in secure mobile parking payments.
The company offers Apple Pay to its North American market and will be adding the
feature to the UK market later this year. The timing of this feature is welcomed
by the industry after a UK competitor to PayByPhone, RingGo, made headlines when
its new app caused a UK wide data breach.
PayByPhone's consumer centric service continues to put the user's private
information first, and the addition of a biometric payment option not only adds
an extra layer of security but makes the app even easier to use. If you have
Apple Pay installed on your phone, it will automatically be available to use
when it comes time to pay for your parking. For Android users, PayByPhone has
also introduced Android Pay in North America.
"The usability of our app is second only to the security of our user's personal
information," explains Kush Parikh, President and CEO of PayByPhone. "The
addition of Apple Pay offers another secure channel pay and puts us further
ahead of our competition in the secure payments space."
Parkers can easily add Apple Pay as a payment method by going into the 'Wallet'
settings in their iPhone and adding a credit or debit card. Once the account has
been created, Apple Pay can be used in conjunction with PayByPhone, eliminating
the need to carry coins or cards.
The PayByPhone app features a countdown timer and smart reminders that trigger
before a parking session expires, reducing the risk of receiving a parking
ticket. It also gives you the ability to extend your parking session from
anywhere.
The PayByPhone app can be downloaded from the iOS App Store or the Google Play
Store. Registration only takes a few moments and can also be completed
at www.paybyphone.com.
