By Gloria Mathias

Mastercard has partnered with Aurionpro Transit, a global provider of smart ticketing and payment systems, to provide commuters with a next-gen contactless payment method for public transport.

The partnership brings integrated digital payment to urban mobility across the region, providing commuters with a fast, convenient, and secure payment experience across all forms of public transportation, including trains, buses, bikes, scooters, taxis, ride-hailing, and more.

Commuters will be able to tap-and-go using any digital wallet paired with a Mastercard card. Mastercard’s open-loop solutions ensure commuters can utilise the same digital wallet across all transit modes and in numerous cities, eliminating the need for multiple cards or regular top-ups.

For transit agencies and authorities, the partnership enhances their ability to design and deploy user-friendly payment solutions and provide their commuters with a seamless and convenient travel experience.
