To start accepting direct payment on your charge points, you will need three key components: a payment terminal, a payment service provider (PSP), and an acquiring bank. The payment terminal is a physical device that enables customers to make payments for charging services. The PSP serves as the intermediary between your charging system and the customer's payment method, securely processing the transaction. Lastly, an acquiring bank is required to facilitate the transfer of funds from the customer's account to your business account. Some market players may combine multiple roles or even encompass all roles, providing comprehensive payment solutions for EV charging operators.
