Ease Payment From Eşarj and Visa

Eşarj, of which Enerjisa Enerji has the majority of its shares, and Visa have launched Visa's new generation card storage infrastructure "Visa Click to Pay”, a significant innovation in Turkey, at all publicly available Eşarj stations.
Eşarj, the first and fastest charging station company in Turkey of which Enerjisa Enerji has majority of the shares by 94 percent, continues to establish partnerships in order expand EV adoption in Turkey as well as encouraging investments for fast charging stations. Thanks to the collaboration of Eşarj and Visa, a world leader in digital payments, EV drivers have access to charging convenience with fast and ease of payment via their debit, credit or prepaid cards in their wallets at all publicly available Eşarj stations. Customers will take the advantage of "Visa Click to Pay”, the new generation card storage infrastructure of Visa, and be able to pay easily and securely at Eşarj stations, which provide service with 494 charging sockets, 170 of which are fast charging, at 263 points, with their cards stored in the application. The next phase of the partnership will enable those who do not have the Eşarj application to pay with their contactless bank, credit and prepaid cards to charge their EVs.

Fast charging and ease of payment to perfect customer experience

Together with the "Visa Click to Pay” infrastructure integrated into Eşarj, the digital payment experience will become as convenient and comfortable as face-to-face payments. Drivers who register their cards in the Visa Click to Pay infrastructure through the Eşarj application will enjoy the comfort of making their payments with one click through their cards registered on the system for all future charging processes. Moreover, the cards registered to the infrastructure will be able to be used in other workplaces that have the Visa Click to Pay infrastructure without requiring an additional registration process. Thanks to the ease of payment resulting from this partnership, the number of charging processes is expected to increase.

Underlining that the interest in EVs and charging stations increase day by day, Murat Pınar, Chairman of Board of Directors of Eşarj and CEO at Enerjisa Enerji, stated, “E-mobility expands rapidly in Turkey as well as all over the world. Hence, it is a material issue to develop the ecosystem and improve customer experience. In doing so, the contributions of our stakeholders matter a lot to us. This collaboration with Visa, one of the leaders in the industry, enables us to continue strengthening each link in the EV charging station value chain.”

Celal Cündoğlu, Head of Merchant Sales & Acquiring, Southern Europe at Visa remarked, “In the past two years, consumers' demand for digital payments in daily life has increased exponentially . Consumers now want to pay easily through the applications on their mobile devices and prefer a more sustainable lifestyle . We endeavor to provide solutions to the demands of consumers through technology and innovation. Accordingly, we believe that adoption of EVs is a key milestone for a more sustainable world. The efficient collaboration that we have established with Eşarj enabled us to integrate the Click to Pay infrastructure of Visa into Eşarj network and mobile application. Thus, we are happy to offer the drivers a fast, uninterrupted and secure digital payment experience at Eşarj stations via this application, which is a first in the Southern Europe region.”
