Credit Card Payment

passengers by integration of a credit card reader on public transport buses.
New residents or infrequent public transport users who may not yet have Kentkart
cards can simply swipe their credit cards on public transport buses to pay their
fare. Kentkart has been nominated to Best Transport Application at the 2007 Sesames
award contest in Paris for this project.

Credited Kentkart
The Credited Kentkart works as a relational card with a contracted
Bank savings or credit card account. This system enables riders to forego card reloads
at kiosk offices by purchasing the contactless card from the contracted bank branch
offices and giving authorization to automatic loading (top-up) to the cards from
the passengers’ savings or credit card accounts. Kentkart has thus offered new alternatives
to card reloading at kiosk offices.
