This panel brings together EasyPark/Arrive, BNP Paribas, the European Parking Association and Billogram to explore the future of payments in parking and mobility. Topics include instant payments, local payment methods, digital identity, cross-border mobility, new subscription models, regulatory changes and customer experience trends.
