Summary

Machine-generated summary

The Zurich Transport Network (ZVV) operates its own digital sales channels, including the ZVV app, the ZVV online ticket shop and other web-based systems for telephone and self-service sales. Passengers can pay for their tickets in these channels using various digital means of payment, including Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards. The contract covers acquiring services for Visa and Mastercard card transactions in card-not-present business, notably the contractual acceptance, processing and settlement of payments. The new contract starts on 1 January 2027. Payment service providing is not part of the procurement; ZVV's current payment service provider is Datatrans. The buyer is the ZVV.
