Ingenico installs NFC in black cabs

You can now pay your taxi fare using your contactless card, thanks to Ingenico who are making the technology available to all of London's 25,000 black cabs. The scheme, launched this week, is part of a Visa Europe led initiative to widen card acceptance in the capital's taxis.

The system is based on Ingenico's iCT250 contactless device, which also accepts traditional cards, and will feature additional services such as mobile phone top-ups. The company hopes this will lead to increased revenue for taxi drivers as well as an improved experience for customers.
