Customers will also benefit from enhanced payments security and fraud prevention, offline authorisation and a dedicated Flowbird support programme.
Through the partnership, Flowbird is now able to offer a full range of flexible payment methods including all major cards, local payment methods and digital wallets.

It means we can now commonly offer our customers a fully integrated solution covering all verticals of our businesses with unattended payment for parking and transit, EV charging and mobile payments.
