The event will focus on contactless payments for transit using ticketing options such as bank cards (EMV), mobile payments, wallets and smartcards that are being explored across the Asia Pacific region to encourage the use of public transport following the Covid-19 pandemic. Taking it a step further, many cities and countries are exploring Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and deploying contactless payments as a step towards MaaS. This event will provide a platform to discuss the role of account-based ticketing (ABT) and open loop payments in the growth of MaaS, the establishment of a single payment channel and integration of transit ticketing apps into third-party apps.

– Presentation on ‘Key Trends and Outlook for Contactless Payments & MaaS in APAC’
