EasyPark, Fortumo expand parking with direct carrier billing to Slovenia

EasyPark Group and Fortumo are expanding their service, which allows payment for parking through direct carrier billing, into Slovenia.

The service lets drivers charge parking fees directly through mobile phone accounts on Telekom Slovenije A1 or Telemach bills, according to a press release.

"Paying for parking with carrier billing gives the greatest convenience to locals and makes it accessible to anyone," said Andrea Boetti, vice president of global business development at Fortumo, in the release.

The expansion marks the fourth country the two companies are offering the service, following deals in Finland, Norway and Sweden in 2018.

The parking fee is deducted from a prepaid account or for regular monthly accounts, the charges are added to the monthly bill, according to release.
