The Hub Launches new ITSO & cEMV Certified Solution

January 21, 2025

[London, 21.1.25] — Following recent ITSO and contactless EMV (L3) certification, The Hub Company, a leading innovator in digital transport solutions, can announce the launch of a new, certified, end-to-end ticketing solution designed to create frictionless travel experiences for transport operators and local authorities to encourage public transport usage.

Developed in the UK, features include account-based ticketing, fare-capping, data management and customer loyalty capabilities designed to improve passenger satisfaction, attract new riders, and maintain a seamless, user-friendly experience.  

This cutting-edge ‘tap on / tap off’ validator solution integrates Aurionpro’s SCV500 Validator, Littlepay’s MTT payment system and The Hub’s SmartABT platform, and leverages software developed by The Hub as it creates its own ITSO & cEMV kernel. This combination minimizes dependence on external components, resulting in a secure, efficient and cost-effective global ticketing system compatible with cEMV, ITSO, and barcode tickets.

“We’re excited to provide a fully certified, all-in-one solution designed to improve both the customer experience and operational efficiency,” said Sam Rudder, CEO. “Our platform not only simplifies ticketing but also enables operators to build stronger connections with their customers through data-driven insights, ensuring greater operational efficiency and enhanced customer loyalty.”
