Toyota to accept Pingit mobile payments in UK
Toyota's financial services arm is offering U.K. customers the option of making additional payments on their car plans by using Barclay's Pingit mobile payment service. Toyota is the first U.K. car manufacturer to sign up for Pingit.
Toyota Financial Services provides a range of finance options for new cars and light commercial vehicles as well as for all Toyota approved used vehicles.
Barclays Pingit enables Toyota Financial Services' customers to make additional and final payments on their plans by using a smartphone or tablet. The free Pingit app can be used by anyone who has a U.K. mobile number and a U.K. bank account.
"Ease and convenience are key factors when it comes to making payments, and with mobile activity on the rise, it's important for companies to consider mobile payment options as part of their offering," Mike Walters, head of U.K. corporate transactions product at Barclays, said in a news release.
