PayPal Stories Archive

Breaking down on the roadside is bad enough at the best of times! The situation only gets worse when you realise you don’t have enough cash to pay for that new part you need from roadside assistance or you have to wait even longer whilst the mechanic calls HQ to process your card payment.

 

That’s one of the reasons why Allianz Global Assistance has equipped its nationwide fleet of breakdown assistance technicians with PayPal Here. The PayPal Here Chip and PIN card reader pairs with the PayPal Here app on the technicians’ smartphones. As a mobile payment solution and designed to work with the app running on 3G, it means that Allianz are now able to take anything from card payments to PayPal payments on the roadside and ensure you are on your way as quickly as possible.

 

We designed PayPal Here as a flexible, affordable way for businesses of all sizes to take payments quickly and securely wherever they do business. It’s been a hit with smaller businesses – but Allianz Global Assistance’s decision shows that it also meets a real need for household name brands who want to give their customers the best possible experience.
