The solution will be presented to the public at the 17th Etransport – Congress on Passenger Transportation, which is considered the largest transportation-related event in Latin America, and which will be held on November 23-25 in Riocentro, in Rio de Janeiro. The company will also be presenting a mini keychain with the same contactless payment functionality.
How it works
When loaded with credit purchased by the user, the sticker and the keychain enable payment of fares when they are tapped on the payment readers, similar to contactless cards.
Credit can be loaded in the same way as Expresso RioCard cards, and can be done on the RioCard and Recarga Fácil websites.
“Both devices are equipped with a contactless chip and offer all the same secure functionalities as contactless MIFARE® cards,” explains Adriano Franki, Commercial Superintendent of Valid’s Payment Solutions.
