Taxi Card Payment Readers

In today’s increasingly cashless society, offering taxi card payments is crucial for taxi businesses. iCabbi’s taxi dispatch system integrates seamlessly with card payment readers, ensuring you never miss out on fares due to payment limitations.

The Shift to Cashless Transactions

In 2020, over half of all transactions were made with credit or debit cards*, a trend that has continued to grow. Cash usage is decreasing by approximately 15% annually, marking Britain’s shift towards a cashless and contactless society.

For taxi firms competing with ride-hailing giants like Uber, having taxi card payment facilities is essential. It ensures relevance to customer demands and enhances the overall driver experience.

Seamless and Secure Payments

Convenience is key, offering contactless payment options builds trust and loyalty among your passengers. When customers know they can pay with a card, they’re more likely to choose your service over the competition. iCabbi’s taxi dispatch system integrates seamlessly with card payment terminals, ensuring fares are processed quickly.

This not only reduces the chance of error or fraud but also allows drivers to focus on delivering excellent customer service instead of handling cash. By embracing secure, cashless transactions, you can stay ahead of evolving customer expectations.

Benefits of Taxi Card Payments:

Speed and Convenience: Payments are faster without the need to count change.

Reduced Fraud Risk: Minimise the risk of counterfeit money.

Increased Fare Opportunities: Cater to passengers without cash.

Hygienic and Safe: Contactless payments are more hygienic, reducing physical contact and the risk of theft.

Seamless Integration: Prices are automatically transferred from the Driver App to the terminal and payment information is sent back to iCabbi, recorded in booking and payment reports.

Quick Payment Processing: Payments to drivers can be made within 24 hours or go towards their driver rent, all fully configurable.

Boost Revenue

Implementing taxi card payments through iCabbi doesn’t just enhance customer satisfaction, it also streamlines your operations. Automatic fare calculations, quicker transactions, and real-time payment reporting mean drivers spend less time managing finances and more time on the road, increasing revenue. Meanwhile, fleet owners gain valuable transaction data, enabling informed decisions about driver accountability, shift scheduling, and other service improvements.

By harnessing the power of an integrated card payment system, you can increase profitability and maintain a competitive edge, all while delivering a modern, convenient experience to your customers
