Large Spanish processor and acquirer Comercia Global Payments is believed to be the only bidder for a fast-tracked project by Barcelona transit authority ATM to roll out an open-loop payments option for customers. The transit agency is funding the project with Covid relief money, which must be spent by the end of 2023.
The estimated €4 million (US$4.1 million) project would buy and install 15,500 “account-based ticketing secure-access modules,” or “ABT SAMs,” to support such credit and debit brands as Visa and Mastercard on ATM’s closed-loop terminals.
