Irish consumer payments network provider Payzone has announced a new sponsorship agreement with Bleeper, Ireland’s first dockless bike-sharing service.
The agreement will see Payzone sponsor 800 of Bleeper’s public bikes operated in Dublin City, Fingal, and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Councils.
This announcement comes ahead of further moves planned by Payzone to expand its current range of services within its popular Parking application.
Payzone has brought various innovations to motorists over the years and the application is ideally placed to implement a broad range of future value-added features.
This will include a range of services which will make it easier for the travelling public to go about their daily lives, using one single application, regardless of how they commute, whether by Car, Bus, Rail, Taxi, Bike, Scooter or on Foot. This will also become instrumental in promoting sustainability.
Bleeper provides smart solutions for everyday transport offering a sustainable alternative to individuals commuting around the capital. Bleeper is on a mission to fight climate change, one journey at a time. In 2022 Bleeper users avoided emitting approximately 59,199kg of CO2 by choosing to cycle for their everyday trips.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Jim Deignan, CEO, Payzone Ireland said: “Bike sharing has grown in popularity across Europe in recent years and Bleeper is a very successful cycle hire scheme operating here in Dublin. We have plans to expand the Payzone parking application to offer our customers a range of additional mobility-related services, with sustainable transport being at the forefront of these plans.
“We’re delighted to partner with Bleeper to promote alternative modes of transport. We feel the partnership aligns with our future vision for Payzone and demonstrates our commitment to sustainable transport and supports the Government’s stated ambition of active travel.”
