DSK Mobile has launched several innovative initiatives
The first of them is related to the complete transformation of the service for purchasing transport documents in the public transport in Sofia, which was successfully launched on May 11, 2021 in the ground public transport. Passengers who use more than 1,110 buses, trolleybuses and trams in the capital will no longer need to carry small amounts of cash or buy a ticket before using the transport. Consumers can use their debit or credit cards, Visa, Mastercard or Maestro issued by banks in the country or abroad, as well as cards issued by fintech companies, including through mobile NFC wallets. It is enough just to tap on validators only when boarding the vehicle. The system records the trip in milliseconds, and at the end of the day the card issuing bank receives the calculated debt. As of 01 September 2021 travelers are receiving an automatic discount after 2nd ride during the day, as daily cap amount, and automatic enabling of digital daily travel card.
DSK Mobile is developing a technological opportunity for contactless use of parking lots throughout Bulgaria, which will facilitate their users and parking operators.
DSK Mobile plans to implement other innovative projects to support and consult its business clients, presenting them with modern products and high-tech solutions in various fields in the field of payments through the payment infrastructure of DSK Bank.
