Managing an EV charging network means keeping multiple aspects under control at the same time: charger availability, charging session data, energy costs, and the payment experience at the charging point. For many charge point operators, the payment experience has long been a challenge, often requiring separate systems, complex integrations, and costly installations.

To address this, Kyvee has integrated the payment infrastructure of Viva.com, Europe’s first Tech Bank for businesses, bringing secure contactless and card payments directly to its EV charging platform. The result is a payment solution designed specifically for charging infrastructure: reliable, easy to deploy, and commercially viable.

“Charging an EV should be as simple as paying at any other point of sale. The driver taps their card, charges their vehicle, and pays. Meanwhile, the charging network operator manages everything from a single platform.”

What This Means for Charge Point Operators

The integration enables seamless payment directly at the charging station while simplifying day-to-day operations. Key benefits include:

  • Unified management dashboard. Charging sessions and payment transactions are available in a single interface, eliminating the need to switch between systems or manually reconcile data.

  • Support for contactless and card payments. Drivers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, and other contactless payment methods through certified payment terminals powered by Viva.com.

  • Competitive pricing. The solution offers pricing that is competitive with other POS solutions available on the market.

  • Easy integration. The payment terminal connects directly with the Kyvee platform without requiring modifications to the existing charging infrastructure.

Why It Matters

Public EV charging infrastructure across Greece and Europe continues to expand. However, many publicly accessible chargers still require RFID cards or mobile applications for authentication, creating unnecessary barriers for occasional users, tourists, and drivers who simply want a fast and convenient charging experience.

By enabling direct card payments at the charging station, these barriers disappear. Anyone with a bank card can access the charging service without creating an account or downloading an application. For operators managing charging stations at hotels, parking facilities, shopping centers, or other commercial locations, this can significantly improve accessibility, customer satisfaction, and revenue generation.

Powered by Viva.com’s Payment Infrastructure

The integration leverages Viva.com’s proven payment infrastructure, providing scalability, regulatory compliance, and reliability. For Kyvee customers, this means access to a payment system that is already operating at scale rather than an experimental solution.

Real-time transaction processing, settlement, reporting, and dispute management are all handled through Viva.com’s established payment services, allowing operators to focus on managing their charging network instead of payment operations.

Building a Complete EV Charging Platform

This integration is part of Kyvee’s broader vision to become a comprehensive operating platform for EV charging infrastructure.

Rather than treating charger management, charging session data, roaming, and payments as separate systems, Kyvee brings them together into a single, integrated platform. Card payment support is another important step toward delivering a complete solution that simplifies operations for charge point operators while improving the charging experience for EV drivers.
