Sign up now!A new ecosystem of personal mobility is emerging. Involving electric vehicle manufacturers, public transportation firms, ride-hailing apps, data providers, and many other organizations, MaaS represents a user-centric transportation management system in which all transport modes, service operators, and infrastructure providers are connected under a single platform.
The urban population continues to grow rapidly. By 2050, it’s projected that 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas - up from 54% in 2016. This will place additional strain on existing infrastructure and land resources.
By 2030, it’s predicted that the world will have 41 megacities - conurbations with more than 10 million inhabitants. MaaS can play a critical role not only in facilitating travel across these huge urban areas but also between mega-cities and other less-populous regions.
The European Union has committed to reducing overall CO2 emissions by 80% in 2050 when compared with the base year of 1990. Meeting the CO2 emission reduction goal will require a huge restructuring of current transportation service and adoption to MaaS.
The global car-sharing market grew at a compound annual growth rate of around 8% between 2014 and 2019, largely driven by new mobile apps. Connected vehicles and IoT sensors promise to bring further innovation to the MaaS market.
At PaymentGenes, we have a wealth of industry experience to help you deliver your MaaS solution. Technological growth will facilitate the rise of connected vehicles, new infrastructure projects, and innovative modes of service, but payment transactions must undergo a similar transformation. Payments cannot be separated from mobility.
Build a future-proof organisation - our strategy consultants will assist you with developing new business models, value chain positioning, product development, and growth strategy definition.
Although the commercial potential of MaaS innovation is immediate, many mobility companies do not have an awareness of what payments can do for them in this area. Although MaaS may take a number of years to achieve technological and market maturity, mobility firms cannot afford to wait before getting on board with this trend. If you don’t focus on MaaS now, you will miss out on a revolution that is gradually being embraced by your competitors - in both the private and public spheres.

If Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solutions are to continue their upward trajectory, businesses must ensure that the payment process is as frictionless as possible. Fortunately, the mobile payments space has developed rapidly over the last few years. When PayPal revolutionized the payments space in the early 2000s, it had few competitors in the nascent digital market. Today, every bank has its own mobile app to facilitate payments and a host of fintech firms have been founded as payment processors or gateways to create a highly competitive ecosystem.
Merchant acquiring business has never been seen as a business that could generate a lot of cash. Acquiring is perceived as mundane business, selling a commodity to business owners. Like selling a box of nails to builders. Sometimes it is even a loss-making business used as a sweetener or as a way to give ‘something’ on top of the core business. Look at banks that also have an acquiring solution. How often do they offer card acceptance to some big businesses at loss? This blog looks at how acquirers can generate revenues on the existing customer portfolio and with new customers.
Barriers to entry are factors that make it challenging for new businesses to enter a particular market. Such factors can deliver advantages for existing firms, allowing incumbents to concentrate on R&D and quality product development without undue concern about a multitude of other companies stealing their customers. However, when barriers to entry are too high, they allow monopolies to form that can have negative consequences for customers.
