Why Direct Payment for EV Charging is strategically important now

EV charging is evolving into a high-volume, transaction-driven payment market outside the realm of traditional retail acceptance. For banks, PSPs, and acquirers, a new acceptance channel is emerging in which direct payment at the charging point becomes the key enabler for ad-hoc users without an app or contract. Those who establish the right payment and settlement models early on can strategically position themselves within the EV ecosystem.

Where EV payment projects get complicated

Fragmented IT environments

CPOs, EMPs, platforms, hardware providers, and existing processing systems must work together, even though standards are often lacking

Payment, compliance, and operations

Availability, real-time processing, failover, security requirements, and fiscalization must be considered together in a production environment

UX and billing

Ad-hoc payments at the point of sale must be simple for consumers, even though the backend processes, settlement, and operator logic are complex

Our Services for EV charging payments

We develop EV payment solutions as part of a scalable payment architecture for charging infrastructure. For you, this means access to products that expand your acquiring and settlement models and integrate seamlessly into real-world charging ecosystems.

Direct-payment and ad hoc architectures

With our help, you can set up payment flows for charging stations, including one-time card payments and pay-as-you-go options

White-label EV payment products

We are your partner for solutions that can be positioned in the market as standalone EV payment products

Integration with processing, settlement, and platforms

We seamlessly integrate your acquiring, processing, risk, settlement, and CPO/EMP environments

Payment overview

Scalable transaction and routing architectures

Our expertise lies in building end-to-end payment architectures for charging infrastructure, backend systems, and the device layer

Software Development for banking apps

This is how we develop EV payment solutions

Successful EV payment projects require not only app or terminal development but also an approach that seamlessly integrates acquiring, charging infrastructure, payment flows, and international scalability.

Analyse

We analyze your acquiring, charging, and platform environments and clearly define the role of the payment enabler

Building architecture

We design your EV payment architecture so that direct payment, routing, settlement, and integration work together seamlessly and are scalable

Integrate and pilot

We integrate your processing, risk, settlement, and partner systems and test their interoperability with selected CPO/EMP partners

Scale and expand

The rollout is being implemented across operators and markets and is being specifically expanded to include additional payment and reporting services

Experience in EV payment, acceptance, and integration

EV charging payments go beyond mere payment functionality. The real value is created when payment integration, acceptance, charging processes, and technical implementation work together seamlessly. This is the expertise we bring to projects involving direct payments and EV ecosystems - with a focus on relevant technologies and payment methods such as Android, Visa, and Mastercard.
