PayByPhone, the world’s leading mobile parking payment provider, announced today that it will be available within Swindon at each of the app’s 17 locations, including Coate Water and Lydiard Country Park. With 12,866 parking transactions processed in the area each month, this addition is expected to impact thousands of drivers.
The full list of locations in Swindon can be seen here.
Those who are within Apple-Pay enabled locations, will automatically default to Apple Pay if their device is already set up to make payments using the service. The option to change payment methods remains, giving users the freedom to select from multiple payment options.
For those currently without Apple Pay, set up is very intuitive and users can follow instructions in their phone settings and be up and running in minutes. Drivers can then choose Apple Pay as a default form of payment within the app. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device. Each transaction is then authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
“Apple Pay will transform the parking journey for PayByPhone users, creating a industry leading experience for our growing user base. We’re now challenging coins and credit card payments for speed, and of course, with PayByPhone you can extend your parking session on the move,” explains Kevin Bird, Commercial Director of PayByPhone UK.
