Istanbulkart

BELBIM has been building technology solutions that connect the enterprises and the residents of the Eurasian metropolitan. In 1994, the company built the first electronic toll collection system for public transportation in the country with its highly-popular inter-transportation payment tool “Akbil,” also known as the smart ticket. After Akbil, BELBIM went for a more convenient and smart solution, Istanbulkart.

For almost a decade, BELBIM has connected millions of Istanbulites with Istanbulkart that lets residents use public transport of all kinds, and in 2019, our paths crossed with BELBIM to carry İstanbulkart one step ahead as the “card of the city.” After the 2019 transformation, users got the ability to make payments in BELBIM enterprises such as cafes and restaurants, bike rentals, parking spaces, and more! Today, İstanbulkart is going through yet another major transformation, taking advantage of the mobile payment capabilities of Tmob Mobile Financial Solutions Platform.

Looking for a solution partner that can accelerate the mobile transformation of İstanbulkart, BELBIM decided to go with an experienced mobile solution provider with great know-how in the mobile payments area and can take advantage of NFC and QR payment technologies. As a SaaS / PaaS company that has served digital banks, mobile wallets, and FinTech start-ups for more than twelve years, we thought that our Mobile Financial Solutions Platform would fit perfectly with the renewed, digitalised, and mobilised İstanbulkart. In a concise time, like eight months, we customized our platform and created the Istanbulkart Mobile application.
