PAYNOVA’S PAYMENT SERVICES OPERATIONAL AT SWEBUS EXPRESS
Paynova’s payment services have been installed by Swebus Express AB and will be used for all electronic ticket sales via the Internet, telephone and from the bus terminals in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Paynova is responsible for all payments where the traveller uses payment or credit cards or pays via Internet bank or giro payment. The administrative costs are lower, while travellers gain increased payment security, lower prices and simpler forms of payment. Swebus Express is the most important reference customer to date for Paynova in both Sweden and Europe.
Swebus Express operates a network of long-distance buses with 180 or so destinations throughout Sweden, plus daily services to Oslo and Copenhagen. Their turnover amounts to around SEK 360 million distributed over approximately 4 million tickets a year. Paynova estimates that 60 to 80 percent of total ticket sales in the future may be handled electronically. Up to now Swebus Express has sold its tickets via permanent sales points and on board its buses. During the autumn and winter, a brand new Internet site for ticket booking has been developed. In June 2003 the travel company signed an agreement to transfer all electronic payments to Paynova. Through application of a newly-developed payment solution (“eLite”) Paynova also handles direct payments using payment and credit cards in the account-based system.
“Swebus Express is significant as a reference customer for us and thus for our continued international market canvassing,” says Johan Waxberg, CEO of Paynova AB. “I am therefore delighted to be able to confirm that we are now operational with the first of the major customers with whom we signed agreements in 2004.”
