FinTech GoCardless today announced that sustainable mobility solutions provider, Bridgestone has selected the FinTech’s solutions to power payment for its tyre subscription service MOBOX. MOBOX is an all-inclusive monthly inclusive service that offers new tyres alongside other vehicle-related services.

Andrea Manenti, Vice President, North Region, Bridgestone said, “The growing global popularity for the service economy provides us with a great opportunity to diversify our customer offering and bring added convenience. We want to provide our customers with the best service at every point in their journey with Bridgestone – from premium products and solutions to the way they pay.

“With Bridgestone and GoCardless, our customers have full visibility of their payments each month – easy and transparent. Working closely with GoCardless helps us reduce time spent on administration and frees up resources to optimise the customer journey.”

The partnership will allow MOBOX customers in the UK to pay via GoCardless. The end-to-end integration of the GoCardless API will allow Bridgestone to access real-time information on the status of mandates and payments, thus reducing costs and time spent on administration.

Stephen Reidy, Vice President & General Manager, UK & Ireland at GoCardless said, “We are delighted to partner with Bridgestone who recognise the importance of offering the right payment options to meet their customer expectations. Choosing the wrong payment method adds unnecessary complexity and cost to your business, choosing the right one helps businesses collect payments with more predictability.”
