The Margento Integrated City Payment System (ICPS) was recently launched in Ljubljana, capital city of Slovenia. It enables citizens and tourists safer and more convenient payment in public transport, parking services, tourist attractions like galleries, museums and other points-of-interest operated by the city of Ljubljana.

Margento, as provider of mobile transactions and payment solutions, is offering complete turnkey solution and support services to set-up and operate various types of payment schemes including closed and semi-closed loop schemes. For the city of Ljubljana, the Margento payment platform is being used for complete stored value account management, transaction processing and clearing, and electronic public transit ticketing.

The Margento payment platform together with various types of Margento terminals (including specifically designed Margento Ticket Validator and Self-service Terminal for public transport) enables use of rechargeable stored value accounts accessed by citizens' mobile phones or stored on citizens' contactless cards in order to make electronic payments. The balance of the citizens' moblie phone stored value account or the stored value on the citizens' contactless card can be replenished using cash or credit/debit payment cards on many payment points equiped with Margento Terminals and at Margento Automated Self-Service Terminals. The city branded payment instrument is to become widely used, building the city’s public image and can be extended also to other acceptance points like restaurants, shops, etc., outside the domain of the city.

For every city the Margento's Integral City Payment System presents a lucrative opportunity to promote mass public transit, manage transportation demand, reduce congestions and pollution, enable quick, transparent, reliable and simplified cashless payments and improve convenience, service experience and safety for the residents and tourists.
