Smarticket.it is a convenient, fast and secure way to pay for parking on the blue lines. Convenient, because you only need to pay for the minutes consumed, Rapid, because you do not need to insert coins in the parking meter, Safe, because the transaction is protected by banking security technologies.

It is necessary to have a smartphone to use the service (iOS, Android e Windows Phone supported) by installing one of these apps: BNL PAY or Hello! PAY.

There is no minimum amount required: Pay only for the minutes used.

It depends on the area where you are parking. In some areas with blue lines, there is a "proximity rate", provided with fixed costs that cannot be divided for the predetermined parking duration (for example: 0,50 € for 1 hour, 1,00 € for 2 hours, 2 € for 12 hours, 3 € for 16 hours). Instead, in other areas you can purchase just a few minutes to park and if you return earlier than expected, you can stop the timer and pay only for the minutes that you have used.

Certainly! Smarticket.it always offers you beneficial rates based on the parking time you have inserted. For example, some parking areas have a rate of 1 euro; for the first four hours, and 4€ from 4 to 8 hours. In this case, if you were to set 6 hours to park, or extend to more than four hours to park, Smarticket.it automatically extends to 8 hours after the time has finished, only charging you the special rate of 4€.

Only for the City of Bologna, there is an additional fee of 5% to park.
Instead, for the other cities that are covered by the services there are no additional fees.

Smarticket.it service is available exclusively on bank applications within the mobile banking. (for example, the app BNL PAY!); so your payment methods are always protected with the highest security standards, those that are used in the banking sector.
