As part of the collaboration, UnionPay’s and JCB’s contactless cardholders will be able to access Rome’s public transportation system easily and quickly.

Nexi, an Italian PayTech provider has entered into two separate strategic agreements with two global card schemes, powered by UnionPay and JCB International, allowing their contactless cardholders to access Rome’s public transportation by paying the fare in extremely simple, fast, and secure way.

Filippo Maria Signoretti, Merchant Solutions Director Italy in Nexi, said, “The partnerships again demonstrate how Nexi has the technology, scale, and expertise to operate successfully at a global level.

This ground-breaking initiative not only simplifies travel experiences for UnionPay cardholders but also underscores our progress to fostering seamless, innovative payment solutions across Europe.”
