Asunción: A total of 50 taxis from the Association of Professional Taxi Drivers of Asunción – APTA are connected to the new QR technology, a system developed by Bancard in Paraguay.
The innovation aims to improve service and give passengers more options in choosing the vehicle in which to travel.
Taxis generally have a poster on the back seat of the vehicle with a QR code that passengers can use to read it in with their smartphone via the app of their banks, financial institutions or other companies that offer the service.
Users who want to pay with the QR code just need to have a mobile phone with the app from one of the companies that already have this payment method. From there you can select this new option.
QR payments, as well as other digital payment systems, are tools that bring about greater financial inclusion with extensive benefits for all Paraguayans. It also enables people without bank accounts to use the new technology through digital wallets like Zimple.
This payment method favors the health measures of Covid-19 prevention, which allow people to make their purchases and pay without physical contact. It also speeds up transactions in your stores, reduces cash consumption and thus prevents possible infections.
Any formalized business can have QR technology, from street vendors, kiosks, artisans, boutiques, hairdressers, motorcycle taxis to large retail chains.
