European payments provider Viva Wallet has launched a payments solution designed for Black Cabs, certified by Transport for London (TfL).

The solution is available on a monthly subscription or one-off payment model, and features the Viva Wallet Pocket Card Terminal, a card terminal holder and a TfL approved Bluetooth Receipt Printer with a vehicle mount.

Since 2016, all London based taxis are required to accept card and contactless payments, and must be fitted with a TfL approved card payment device installed in the passenger compartment. Along with the device itself, they must also be able to produce a printed receipt upon request by the passenger.

The black cabs solution includes the hardware, installation process, and all the benefits of Viva Wallet; 0% acceptance fees, no contract and next-day settlement. 

According to Viva Wallet, taxi drivers will be able to make more money on fares paid through card transactions, by earning back their acceptances fees to 0%. To do this, they must use Viva Wallet Digital Debit Card to pay for their business expenses such as their fuel and food costs.  

Through the Viva Wallet Account Dashboard, drivers also have access to full visibility of their account, allow them to manage business transactions.
