We are very pleased to be working closely with PayByPhone, the market leading phone payment operator for car parking, to develop its iPhone and Android apps. The app has now launched on the App Store and Android Market and is available for PayByPhone locations in United Kingdom, United States and Canada.
For some time at Wavana we have recognised that apps will play a key part in transaction payments. We felt that simple, secure and convenient mobile app payments will ultimately replace the need to carry cash and coins. Last year we developed Flying Flowers, which enables users to order and securely pay for flowers ‘on the go’. Now the PaybyPhone app represents a big step forward for the convenience of no longer having to pay for parking by coins, but also enabling users the benefit of being able to remotely extend their parking if they need additional time.
We are already exploring the potential for apps that utilise Near Field Communication (“NFC”) for simplified transactions with a touch, very similar to the Oyster Card system used on London's public transport network. NFC is already possible on some Android devices and we hope will be likely to be available on Apple’s iOS platform within the next 6 months.
