Sports clubs and recreational associations can now pay membership fees using the Microsoft Azure-based PayiQ Ticket app, which was developed by mobile payment solutions provider PayiQ.
Designed to provide cloud-based intelligent mobile ticketing, payment and validation solutions for smart cities, transport operators and event organisers, the PayiQ Tickets app now allows users to easily pay for services and sports membership fees. For example, users in Finland can buy snowmobile track permits in Pirkanmaa and North Karelia, or pay for riding on the tracks of Lohja, Rauma and Vantaa motorcycle clubs.
“Cooperation with various sports clubs and recreational associations widens our business range even further,” said Tuomo Parjanen, CEO of PayiQ. “In addition to tickets for public transport, sporting and other events, our app can now be used to pay for recreation fees. Our award-winning ticketing as a service platform enables the creation of versatile, easy to update ticket products and wholly new kind of service concepts. We are looking forward to new business opportunities with various clubs and associations.”
This year, PayiQ has also teamed up with UAE-based partner Broadfolio MEA to help push its cloud-based mobile payments solution into the Middle Eastern markets.
