FREENOW driver partners to get access to exclusive deals on card readers and point-of-sale

FREENOW Ireland has  launched a collaboration with global fintech, SumUp, to offer an exclusive deal to FREENOW taxi driver partners ahead of the busy holiday season.

Through this partnership, drivers in Ireland using the FREENOW app will be able to acquire one of SumUp’s best in market card readers with a 65% discount versus the usual retail price.

FREENOW Taxi drivers will be able to take advantage of the ‘Black Week’ discount until December 21st and opt between two SumUp devices:

  • Solo Lite is a simple and durable card reader that pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth to accept payments on the go.
  • Solo is SumUp’s most advanced card reader, offering several useful features beyond taking payment, including smart tipping, and access to sales history data.

In addition, partner drivers will have no extra fees or monthly minimums and will be able to take advantage of SumUp’s commission-free transactions up to €2,000.

Danny O’Gorman, General Manager at FREENOW Ireland, said: “Our focus continues to be on supporting our partner taxi drivers and modernising the taxi sector. This partnership with SumUp is another way to help drivers keep money in their pockets by taking advantage of these unique discounts on user-friendly card readers.”

Aleksandra Kozbur-Henke, Partnership Growth Manager at SumUp, said: “Payment technology can play a key role in helping hardworking cabbies stay in the driving seat. By partnering with FREENOW, we hope to see the widespread adoption of digital payment methods across the taxi industry in Ireland, improving customer convenience and increasing takings for drivers as a result.”

SumUp card readers have a transparent fee policy. FREENOW partner drivers will be able to take advantage of payment devices that are simple to set up and use for a seamless payment experience while on the go.
