Trintech announced today the CIÉ Group has selected its PayWare Merchant to automate the processing of tickets purchased using debit or credit cards from vending machines.
The machines are in DART and commuter railway stations, and there are plans to include them in mainline and regional stations throughout the coming months.
Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann will deploy PayWare Merchant to handle the high volumes of card transactions associated with seat reservations at ticket vending machines, booking offices, call centers and online.
Iarnród Éireann will also integrate and roll out Trintech's Smart 5000 PINPad, a hybrid card reader that accepts both chip cards and magnetic swipe cards.
The new system will enable passengers to conduct secure Chip and PIN transactions at each unattended terminal.
