February 3, 2017

Qpagos Corp., a U.S.-based provider of digital payment services for cash-based and unbanked consumers in Mexico, has expanded its network of self-service kiosks to Mexico City's metro system, formally known as Sistema de Transporte Colectivo, according to MarketWatch.

With 12 lines covering 226 kilometers and over 180 stations, Mexico City's metro system carries over 1.6 billion passengers per year, or an average of over 4 million per day, and is considered the world's eighth largest metro.

Three kiosks were installed in Observatorio station. Observatorio is one of Metro's busiest stations with average daily passengers of 77,205.

Metro passengers, in addition to topping up their mobile phones in an expedient and secure manner, will now also be able to make multiple payments in Qpagos' kiosks, including bill payments for utilities, municipal payments to Mexico City and other states, and several other payments such as cableTV subscriptions.
