The mobility industry is undergoing a revolution. From scooters to bikes to trains, taxi?s and car sharing, the choice is immense. As our cities continue to grow, they inevitably face new challenges, such as increasing pressure on space, traffic flow and road safety. In order to conquer these challenges, we need to redefine our mobility needs and create one seamless eco-system for worldwide usage. Our collective aim is clear, sustainable, accessible and liveable cities for everyone.
As of this month, umob is launching international payment methods in their app, powered by Adyen. Adyen is the global technology platform of choice for leading businesses. With the umob app, customers can directly search, plan, book and pay for all shared mopeds, bikes, scooters, taxis and public transport available in Europe. Think about Bolt, Lime, Dott, Check, Go Sharing, Donkey Republic and many more. Connecting all these vehicles into one booking system creates overview, ease of use and trustworthy dense network. No different apps and accounts needed anymore, but one booking solution for all of them. From Amsterdam to Paris, and from Paris to Barcelona.
Together with Adyen, umob is able to offer their customers worldwide safe and efficient in-app payment solutions. This means a user never leaves the umob app for booking mobility services, all over the world. Providing a consistent journey is needed to encourage users to move from ownership to pay per use and to create uninterrupted travel experiences.
Bibi Jorissen, CEO at umob, said: ?We are delighted to partner with Adyen to improve our services to our national and international customers. With Adyen we have found a trustworthy and industry leading partner to provide worldwide payment methods to encourage using sustainable mobility options. Our mission is to be the leading all-in-one mobility platform across Europe, starting with our home market in the Netherlands. The mission of both Adyen and umob strengthens each other due to their international focus and data-driven business.?
“The mobility industry is rapidly evolving, and consumer expectations are higher than ever,? says Julien Marlier, Country Manager Benelux at Adyen. ?We’re proud to partner with umob to make mobility more accessible and seamless. With our global payment solutions, umob can offer a smooth and efficient service, meeting the needs of today’s users and promoting sustainable urban travel.”
About umob:
Founded in 2021 and launched at the end of 2023, umob is an international booking platform providing direct access to over 500.000 vehicles end of year in Europe. The mobility industry is undergoing a revolution, characterized by digitalization and easy access. However, with all the digital booking systems coming up, users end up having over 30 different apps on their phone to use all these shared mobility options, to book taxis and to buy public transport tickets. To enhance easy access and encourage use, this needs to be done differently. From now on you can find all scooters, bikes, cargo-bikes, taxis and public transport options within one single platform, with only one account. No more switching, simple and effective – to give the streets back to our people, not to cars.
We stand for a greener future in our cities. We do so by providing affordable access to private car alternatives and to encourage people to rethink their travel behavior.
