TickTap: a wallet & card program, live in Samoa
A working example of the PacWallex platform in the field — a prepaid consumption card for taxis, buses, ferries and shops.
TickTap's card tiers
Two cards, built for Samoa
For its Samoa program, TickTap issues two prepaid card tiers on the PacWallex platform — the Aute card for everyday riders and the Honu card for business partners.
Aute Card
For everyday riders
- Top up and pay — a simple prepaid card
- Tap to pay taxi, bus and ferry fares
- No registration needed under 1,000 WST
- Perfect for students, commuters and visitors
Honu Card
For business partners
- Everything the Aute card does, plus more
- Bound to your PacWallex merchant wallet
- Register to unlock a 1,000 WST balance limit
- Built for retail partners and top-up agents
