We don’t just build systems…
we build Partnerships and Possibilities

Payment in Motion (PIM) is a proudly Canadian-owned company, based in Ontario, and a trusted leader in advanced transit technology solutions. Specializing in Automated Fare Collection (AFC) systems, we have designed and deployed numerous systems across Canada that are helping modernize public transit and improve the rider experience.

Since our founding in 2017, PIM has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Backed by a team with roots in the fare collection industry dating back to 2006, we have consistently remained at the forefront of contactless smart card and account-based technologies, offering scalable solutions that evolve with the needs of modern transit systems.

PIM has successfully delivered more fully integrated fare systems across Canada than any other provider, including both card-based and account-based platforms. Our system in Guelph is widely recognized as the most advanced account-based transit solution currently operating in the country. And in St. John’s, NL, our seamless upgrade from a card-based to an account-based system was completed without any disruption to service—a clear testament to our technical capability and commitment to smooth transitions.

What sets PIM apart is more than just our technology, it’s our unwavering focus on our clients. We don’t take on projects unless we are 100% confident in our ability to deliver on time, on budget, and above expectations. Our hands-on approach ensures that our team is on-site through installation, commissioning, and launch, building strong relationships that last well beyond project delivery.

Our platform empowers transit agencies to launch forward-thinking fare strategies, including flexible fare models, time-based pricing, loyalty rewards, and even integrated “municipal cards” that go beyond transit. Built on proven, web-based and PC-based infrastructure, PIM’s fare collection system offers full smart card functionality without the high costs or complexity of larger systems, making it the ideal choice for small and mid-sized transit networks looking to scale with confidence.

At Payment in Motion, we don’t just build systems — we build partnerships and possibilities.
