PayByPhone, the global leader in mobile parking payments, has announced that Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust staff and visitors to five of its hospitals, including Buckingham Community Hospital and Amersham Hospital, are now able to use PayByPhone’s cashless services to pay for parking across their six car parks.
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust has teamed up with PayByPhone to provide their mobile payment solution for users following feedback from visitors who wanted a faster and more convenient method of paying for parking. Cashless payments will be introduced to the two remaining Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust car parks by early 2020.
Ali Williams, Commercial Director, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, said: “We are pleased to be working with PayByPhone so that our visitors and staff have the flexibility to pay for their parking in a way that suits them best.”
Visitors can pay for parking through the PayByPhone app on their mobile device, or by calling a telephone number that is displayed on signs in the car park. The Extend-From-Anywhere feature, which allows PayByPhone users to extend their parking sessions remotely, in accordance with the car parks’ terms and conditions, can now also be used with an Apple Watch using watchOS 4 or above. PayByPhone users can also choose to opt-in for text message reminders that alert them before a parking session expires.
Adam Dolphin, Sales Director for PayByPhone UK, says: “We are so pleased that Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust has chosen to work with PayByPhone. Mobile parking payments have many advantages, particularly at hospitals, where you want your experience to be as hassle-free as possible. And for the NHS Trust, the reduction of vandalism and the cost of maintaining the pay and display machines is an added bonus.”
Each month, PayByPhone processes more than 60,000 transactions for more than 30 hospitals nationwide. The PayByPhone app is free to download; registration is very simple and takes less than 30 seconds. Drivers can also use the app to locate the nearest PayByPhone parking location anywhere in the country.
