The event is an opportunity for Techcombank to affirm its pioneering position in promoting green transportation with the city, accompanying customers on the journey of sustainable mobility. In the context of rapid urbanization as it is today, the Metro railway system is not only a solution to help reduce traffic congestion, but also contributes to reducing emissions and building a sustainable green environment.
Techcombank's cooperation with the city to promote digital payments in public transportation not only creates convenience for customers, but is also a driving force to change consumption habits, towards a comprehensive digital economy. On that journey, Techcombank always brings smart, safe and convenient payment solutions, helping customers easily access modern transaction methods and optimize travel experiences.
Metro Line 1 passengers can now enjoy the convenience of cashless payment by using Techcombank cards or contactless payment methods such as Apple Pay/Samsung Pay/ Google Wallet... to buy tickets directly at the counter, buy on the HURC application, or immediately tap the control device at the entrance (tap-in) and at the exit (tap-out) pillars after the trip to quickly complete payment transactions. In particular, Techcombank Visa Eco cardholders will enjoy a 50% refund discount when participating in this form of public transportation. Thereby contributing to spreading the habit of green, environmentally friendly living in the community.
That is because the Techcombank Visa Eco payment card line is a pioneer in encouraging a green lifestyle. The card is made from bio-based materials, which can be recycled, helping to limit plastic waste and reduce carbon footprints. In addition, the card also integrates greenhouse gas measurement technology on each transaction, allowing customers to track CO2 emissions based on field and spending value.
Along with Techcombank Visa Eco payment card, Techcombank's cashless payment solutions are contributing to building a smart and sustainable transportation ecosystem, in line with the development trend of major cities in the world. This is also a preparation step for the products promoting comprehensive green transportation that Techcombank will coordinate with the Department of Transport to implement in the future.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Director of Techcombank Retail Banking, shared: "Developing green transportation is always one of Techcombank's goals and wishes with partners to bring seamless experiences to customers. Techcombank is proud to accompany Metro No. 1, not only providing optimal payment solutions but also contributing to promoting digital consumption habits for people. We believe that a modern transportation system cannot be without smart payment methods, helping to optimize the travel experience and move towards a green, sustainable city. Techcombank will continue to invest in technology with the desire to be an important part of the city's green transport development strategy".
As the official co-sponsor of the Metro Line 1 launch event, Techcombank is committed to investing heavily in technology, bringing the most advanced, safe and convenient digital payment solutions to customers. Along with that, Techcombank continues to accompany the city to expand its development, towards a connected, modern, sustainable urban area - ready to enter the " era of rising up" with the country.
