Wirecard, the leading expert in digital payment solutions, is entering into an innovation partnership with evopark GmbH. As part of the collaboration, both companies plan to link evopark’s existing app with Wirecard’s mobile payment and loyalty features in order to guarantee a seamless customer journey at all car parks across Germany in the future.
evopark provides a contactless smart card which can be used to make cashless payments at 70 car parks across Germany. This service is complemented by an app that shows the user available parking spaces in participating car parks and provides directions there if desired. Now, evopark plans to further develop this solution together with Wirecard. The plan is that, in future, users will be able to pay via the app and receive cashback from retailers located near car parks. Additionally, the companies want to press forward together in the e-mobility sector. For example, a payment function for electric charging stations is in the pipeline.
Tobias Weiper, founder and CEO of evopark GmbH: “Together, we are transforming trips to town into an experience. Today, looking for parking spaces, buying tickets and queuing at paying stations are already a thing of the past for evopark customers. Our aim for the future is for our customers to additionally pay directly via the app and to be able to take advantage of discounts or loyalty offers. In Wirecard, we have found an experienced and innovative partner that will support us in implementing our vision.”
Stephan Ritzenhoff, Team Lead Partner Management at Wirecard, adds: “Today, customers require holistic digital solutions. This means that it is important to combine all offers into one app without any manual steps. We are therefore delighted to provide new impetus moving forward in the mobile payment and e-mobility sectors with evopark and to make networked travel even more appealing.”
