HONK transforms the parking experience for drivers across Canada as the first to offer INTERAC Debit as a way to pay for parking online and in-app through digital wallets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TORONTO, April 14, 2021 \u2013 HONK, North America\u2019s leading provider of contactless digital payments for parking, announced today the launch of Interac<\/em> Debit through digital wallets within HonkAPP, HonkTAP and HonkWEB. This latest feature marks a major milestone in HONK\u2019s mission to make parking easier and more convenient for drivers. For the first time ever, Canadians can now pay for parking from the comfort of their phone in-app and online \u2014with Interac<\/em> Debit through digital wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new payment feature is available across HONK\u2019s entire payments platform, including HonkAPP, HonkTAP, and HonkWEB. Drivers who bank with participating financial institutions<\/a> simply select the duration of their parking session, and seamlessly pay using Interac<\/em> Debit through the digital wallet of their choice: Apple Pay or Google Pay. What\u2019s more, drivers can opt to receive parking notifications and securely add more time to the meter from afar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur priority at HONK is to enhance the parking experience for Canadians by offering the most convenient and seamless ways to pay,\u201d said Michael Back, HONK Founder and CEO. \u201cAdding Interac <\/em>Debit as a payment option in our app, mobile guest checkout and website builds on this mission, and we are thrilled to be the first company in Canada to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s touch-averse world, drivers deserve to pay for parking with their preferred method of payment from the safety and convenience of their phone. Touchless ways to pay are now a necessity \u2014 and we\u2019re proud to give the millions of Canadians who prefer paying with Interac<\/em> Debit the flexibility to do so,\u201d said Michael Back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs consumer spending continues to grow online, so does their expectation to pay seamlessly using the payment method of their choice,\u201d said Nader Henin, AVP, Commerce, Interac Corp. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to collaborate with HONK to offer drivers in Canada the option to pay for parking conveniently using Interac<\/em> Debit through digital wallets within the HONK app or website.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
