Conduent Transportation has implemented a new EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) contactless payment system for Gestione Governativa Navigazione Laghi, the government agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport that operates a fleet of boats on Lakes Maggiore, Garda, and Como in northern Italy. This marks one of the first EMV contactless payment systems deployed for boat transportation in Italy. The new contactless payment system simplifies transactions for passengers by enabling tap-in and tap-out payments using the on-board validators with contactless debit and credit cards, as well as NFC-enabled digital wallets.

This advancement modernizes the fare structure and facilitates the digitalization of payments, making travel more seamless and efficient. Complementing the electronic ticketing system previously implemented by Conduent at ticket offices across the three lakes, this new solution enhances on-board accessibility, facilitating a smooth travel experience for the 12 million passengers Navigazione Laghi serves annually. Conduent fare collection systems are in use on more than 400 public transit networks of all sizes around the world.

In July 2024, Conduent announced that it had launched a contactless payment system on the Venice transportation network managed by Azienda Veneziana della Mobilita (AVM).
