How to Process Bank Cards

Accept debit/credit card payments (contactless, chip, or swipe) via your Cabcharge terminal

Steps to Process a Bank Card Payment

  1. End the Trip

    • After ending the trip, the terminal will display the final fare and prompt your passenger for payment

    • Important: the terminal will automatically recognise which card type is being presented - you do not need to do anything before taking payment.

  2. Customer Pays

    • Contactless: Tap card/phone on the top contactless reader.

    • Chip Card: Insert into the chip slot (front of terminal).

    • Swipe: Swipe the magnetic stripe if contactless/chip fails.

      • Note: Tips cannot be added to Cabcharge or government subsidy payments

  3. Approval & Receipt

    • If approved, the screen shows "Approved".

    • You will be prompted to print a customer receipt first, followed by a driver receipt.

    • Tap "Yes" if you would like to print a receipt.

      • We recommend always printing and keeping a copy of the driver receipt for your records.

  4. Complete Transaction

    • The terminal returns to the home screen for the next trip.
