- Enel X, through its subsidiary PayTipper, has launched a campaign to support public bodies in the process of using the pagoPA platform for payments made with physical POS terminals
- The Pocket PA solution means administrations can have a solution in line with the standards governing approval of POS payments made on pagoPA, at a special price from today until February 28th, 2021
Rome, November 19th, 2020 - Enel X assists public administrations to help them complete the process of adopting the electronic payment platform pagoPA, created to make any transaction with the Public Administration easier, more secure and more transparent.
The required adoption of pagoPA also means payment service providers (PSPs) must integrate with the same platform, which by June 2021 will also have to be updated with the latest development lines set forth by PagoPA S.p.A. to accept pagoPA payments made by POS.
Enel X has launched a special campaign, offering a favorable price for the POS Pocket PA solution, which is already available with the new standards set forth by PagoPA S.p.A.
Pocket PA, developed by the Enel X subsidiary PayTipper, is the solution that enables administrations to adapt to the new technological standards of the pagoPA system.
Riccardo Amoroso, Head of e-City Enel X, said: “With this new initiative, we aim to strengthen our role as a strategic partner of public administrations and simplify the digital transformation process for public bodies. Our goal is to facilitate the innovation of payment systems for the benefit of citizens and businesses, offering ad hoc solutions at competitive prices. The group has already been active in this market segment for some time, providing solutions to manage pagoPA payment notices through PayTipper, the group's accredited company operating in the hub since 2016 and one of the leading payment service providers in Italy.”
Angelo Grampa, Chief Executive Officer of PayTipper Spa, said: “PayTipper has always believed that pagoPA is a fundamental element in the Public Administration's digitalization process and has been one of the most active players since the project's inception. This further initiative sets out to be a real way to ease the Public Administrations' adoption of pagoPA in what is a tough time for the entire country, and one that can be nonetheless used as a stimulus for change towards better efficiency and a better service for citizens.”
Specifically, Pocket PA is a POS terminal that integrates a printer and includes a QRCode (2D) scanner and software to manage pagoPA transactions, enabling public bodies to eliminate their commission expenses (multiBody solution) and reducing costs compared to present POS payment approval solutions.
Pocket PA means QR codes for payment notices can be read with ease, the pagoPA receipt can be printed, and it communicates the successful payment in real time to the pagoPA hub, allowing the recipient body to immediately check its payments received status.
The Pocket PA terminal comes in two models: a desktop version and a version with integrated connectivity. The tool has also been designed for the operations that accompany and integrate school administration activities for managing payments for various school-related services such as: enrolments, lunches, pagoPA top-ups and reminders.
