Conduent announced the rollout of Italy’s first integrated transit EMV contact‑less payment system, a partnership with Brescia Mobilità and Arriva Italia that lets passengers use contact‑less cards and mobile wallets across both operators’ networks.
The new solution fuses Conduent’s Vector platform with EMV technology, enabling real‑time transaction processing, fraud prevention, and data protection through a tokenizer module and an orchestrator that manages the payment flow end‑to‑end.
By becoming the first company to deliver an integrated EMV system between two public‑transport operators, Conduent expands its European transit footprint and positions itself to capture a portion of the €1.5 billion European transit payments market, a key growth area for the company’s Transportation segment.
Conduent’s Transportation segment generated $586 million in revenue, a 15.8% decline from the prior year, while Q4 2024 revenue was $800 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.0%; Q3 2025 revenue fell to $767 million but the margin improved to 5.2%. The new payment platform is expected to generate incremental revenue and strengthen Conduent’s competitive stance amid a challenging financial backdrop.
Other European transit‑payment providers compete for market share, but Conduent differentiates itself by offering a fully integrated, EMV‑compliant system that processes transactions in real time, a capability that has not yet been available between two operators in Italy.
CEO Cliff Skelton highlighted the launch as part of Conduent’s broader strategy to invest in high‑return technology platforms while rationalizing its portfolio, noting that the new system aligns with the company’s focus on driving growth in the Transportation segment.
While no specific market reaction data were identified, the launch represents a strategic milestone that could influence Conduent’s long‑term positioning in the European transit payments market.
