Xevo and BancPass Partner to Bring PlusPass Automatic Toll-Pay Capabilities to the Xevo Market Automotive Commerce Platform

BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Xevo Inc., the global leader in data-driven user experiences for the automotive industry, today announced that they have partnered with BancPass to incorporate the electronic toll pay app PlusPass into their in-vehicle commerce and services platform, Xevo Market. Xevo Market makes it possible for consumers to engage and interact with their favorite merchant brands and services via their in-vehicle touchscreen and vehicle-branded mobile apps. Consumers are able to order their favorite food and drinks from the car and have it waiting for them when they arrive, find the nearest gas station and pay for fuel, and now with PlusPass they will have a new, convenient way to pay for tolls.

The PlusPass app allows users to see their toll road transaction history and manage vehicle and payment information. Integrating the app into the Xevo Market platform will allow PlusPass users to access the app directly from the touchscreen of their vehicle, making it possible for them to activate vehicles, manage their account, and receive status updates in real time without having to interact with their phone.

Xevo Market improves the driving experience by making time spent in the car more productive and enjoyable. Together, Xevo and BancPass are revolutionizing the way people pay for tolls."

"BancPass is excited to be partnered with Xevo, the leader in merchant-to-driver touchscreen applications, and to offer the convenience of managing the PlusPass app directly from a user's vehicle touch screen. As BancPass moves toward national interoperability with the PlusPass app, Xevo Market offers a great way to increase the availability of the PlusPass solution," said John Freund, President, BancPass. "The nature of vehicle use and ownership is changing, and the partnership with Xevo and their in-vehicle platform allows greater flexibility in managing user payments from in-vehicle touchscreens."
