Reply S.p.A. has introduced a new remote payment platform based on scanning QR codes via mobile devices: HI CREDITS. The technology, integrated with the banking payment gateway, enables secure and quick purchases.
The platform allows customers to make payments using mobile PoS, which can be very attractive to small businesses - like newsstands and taxis – as it effectively replaces the physical PoS.
Reply’s new technology makes it possible to buy geo-located goods and services as, for instance, tickets for local public transport, museums, events, expos, theme parks and urban car parking.
Moreover, HI CREDITS enables remote purchases through the camera phone capture of QR codes found on various media, such as printed leaflets, magazines, web page promotions, television broadcasts and advertising billboards.
Among the most interesting applications is the introduction of compatibility with cash registers, the interaction between networked banking systems and the ability to make payments through NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.
HI CREDITS is avauilable via a downloadable mobile app.
