The EMV by AEP launched in Turin on subway and buses<\/h1>\n<\/h2>\n
\n

Turin, 10\u00a0july 2020<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0AEP and<\/strong>\u00a0SIA<\/a><\/strong>, the leading European hi-tech company in the payment services and infrastructures sector controlled by CDP Equity, have created a digital platform\u00a0enabling tickets to be paid for directly at<\/strong>\u00a0GTT (Gruppo Torinese Trasporti)<\/a>\u00a0(Gruppo Torinese Trasporti) terminals in subway stations and on board a number of bus lines in the city of Turin\u00a0<\/strong>using\u00a0EMV contactless credit and debit cards\u00a0<\/strong>(Mastercard and VISA), also\u00a0virtualized on smartphones and wearable devices<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>in a simple, fast, secure manner.<\/p>\n

The innovative system is based on the\u00a0technological infrastructure of AEP and SIA<\/strong>\u00a0that allows users to pay for public transport services by simply bringing their card close to the terminals while also benefiting from the\u00a0best available travel tariff based on the number of journeys made<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The advanced features supporting the\u00a0development of Smart Mobility<\/strong>\u00a0permit immediate\u00a0purchase of the ticket<\/strong>\u00a0as well as\u00a0management, authorization, accounting and reporting<\/strong>\u00a0of payment transactions.<\/p>\n

This is a\u00a0further, significant step forward in the\u00a0digital transformation<\/em>\u00a0of the public transport sector<\/strong>. The new payment system also allows Turin to be one of the cities in Italy and the world possessing the most innovative mobility services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to express our gratitude to GTT, the Turin Municipality and SIA for allowing us to implement this system for payments with EMV cards on public transport, which goes to join the many others we have implemented in Italy and abroad. With over 7,000 AEP devices, GTT is one of our most important customers and it is also thanks to our collaboration that, in 2016, we began to develop this key new technology\u201d,<\/em>\u00a0said\u00a0Giovanni Becattini, CEO of AEP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are particularly proud to have worked with AEP on the launch of the new contactless payment system at a time when every possible measure must be taken to protect the safety of travelers. As of today, Turin is also one of the major Italian cities \u2013 alongside Milan, Rome, Venice and Naples \u2013 using SIA\u2019s technology to digitize millions of travel tickets. Our country is accelerating its digitization process, in particular in the field of mobility and public transport. Electronic payment is thus increasingly becoming part of the everyday life of citizens and the alternative standard to cash\u201d,<\/em>\u00a0said\u00a0Eugenio Tornaghi<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Marketing & Sales Director of SIA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
