Greyhound partners with Paysafe for online cash
Iconic US long-distance coach operation Greyhound Lines is partnering with payments platform Paysafe to roll-out online cash services.
Greyhound customers can now use Paysafe’s eCash solution Paysafecash to make safe and secure cash payments when booking a trip online. To purchase an online ticket with cash, the operator’s customers select ‘cash’ as the payment method at the checkout. This generates a barcode that can be paid at one of more than 70,000 participating convenience stores, pharmacies or dollar stores that offer Paysafecash payment services. The customer presents the barcode at the cash register to complete the purchase.
