PayByPhone

PayByPhone is part of PayPoint, a leading international provider of convenient payments and value added services to major consumer service organisations. PayPoint services are delivered through a unique combination of local shops, internet and mobile distribution channels, which handle over £10 billion annually from almost 570 million transactions annually for more than 6,000 clients and merchants.

PayByPhone is the leading provider of mobile payments in the parking sector with a range of blue chip clients including Local Authorities and private parking operators.

Formerly known as Verrus, PayByPhone was founded over ten years ago and now operates across North America and Europe in over 150 cities including London, Miami, Vancouver, Newcastle, San Francisco, Nice and Issy.

Motorists find the PayByPhone service easy to use and appreciate the many user friendly options the service provides - such as a text reminder before a parking session expires. This enables the motorist to add additional time without the hassle of returning to their vehicle. At the same time, parking operators increasingly recognise that mobile payments can both reduce the costs associated with operating expensive pay and display machines as well as increasing revenue per parking session.

Over three million people have already signed up to use the PayByPhone service, and each day in the UK, it processes over 40,000 mobile parking payments.

PayByPhone operates on a state-of-the-art IT platform that supports payments via touch-tone/IVR, text, the Internet, apps and mobile web. The technology is both robust and highly secure. PayByPhone is accredited by Visa as a Level 1 data processor under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards - the highest level of accreditation available.
