Visa and Imperial Parking Canada Corp. (Impark) are teaming up to offer Visa payWave contactless payments to 72 of its attended parking facilities across Canada.
Customers at participating parking lots can now simply wave-and-pay, when purchasing parking at a payWave enabled Impark parking lot. Based on EMV chip technology, payWave transactions are fast and secure – convenient for Visa both merchants and cardholders.
In addition to Visa payWave, Impark costumers now have the option to pay manage their online account, paying for their fees and balances using Visa Debit. Visa Debit can also be used conjunction with the service Impark’s PayByPhone functionality.
PayByPhone is a Web-based application, available for most smart phones, which enables customers to use their cell phone to pay for parking – be it for an hour, a day, a week or a month. Billing is automatic and consumers can access and receive reports online or by email.
