1. The Netherlands, contactless bank cards acceptance in public transport (EMV)

Description

Sunbay is working on an innovation project together with RET and Translink. It’s a pilot project in which commuters can check in and out of the Rotterdam subway by using their contactless bank card. We have integrated the Sunbay systems with that of the provider of the OV chipcard for this pilot. Furthermore we have also built the following:

  • A website and mobile app for commuters. These give the commuter insight in his trips that have been paid with the bank card. If the commuter checks in, a notification will be pushed to his mobile device that he’s been checked in. Forgot to check out? The commuter can easily correct this through the app and will be reimbursed for the difference. If the commuter doesn’t have sufficient balance on his bank account the card will be temporarily blocked. He cannot travel further. Through the app the commuter can add more funds and continue his trip.
  • An app for conductors. They can check with a NFC mobile device if the commuter is checked in.

The test cards of all Dutch banks that provide bank cards with contactless payment have been successfully accepted in this pilot.
