Parkmobile Integrates PayPal as Payment Option

Parkmobile, the leading provider of mobile payment solutions to municipalities and parking providers around the world, announced today that its mobile payment for parking program just got smarter and easier.  PayPal as a payment option will be rolled out across the Parkmobile footprint, initially in 20 cities across the U.S.

“We are extremely excited to announce our relationship with PayPal.  With their more than 117 million active users worldwide, they are widely recognized as a leader in mobile payment technology and innovative payment services.  By integrating them as a new payment method we are further optimizing our solution and creating an even better user experience, “said Albert Bogaard, CEO of Parkmobile USA, Inc.

To use Parkmobile’s service, parkers register for free by setting up an on-line account at www.parkmobile.com, or download the mobile app.  Once registered, members can use the mobile app, the internet, or a toll free number to pay for parking.  Members can select PayPal as a payment method via their online account at www.parkmobile.com or from their mobile app (available for iPhone & Android), through which they can initiate and manage their parking payments.

“At PayPal, we look to forge relationships with innovative companies that are bringing services to consumers to make their everyday lives easier,” said Randall Davies, Head of Global Business Development at PayPal. “Parkmobile’s mobile parking solutions do just that, and now Parkmobile members will be able to pay with PayPal, making it even easier, more secure and faster to pay for parking.”
