Iarnród Éireann has introduced PayPal as a payment option at checkout on their website and app, giving millions of travelers in Ireland and overseas a simple and secure way to purchase rail tickets. Customers can purchase tickets directly from their PayPal account using either their PayPal balance, or other funding source.
By enabling PayPal on their website and app, the company is adding another convenient payment option for customers worldwide to book tickets, when travelling with Iarnród Éireann.
“Travelers expect payments they know and trust, wherever they book,” said Jonas Breding, General Manager, PayPal Northern Europe. “The early results of our cooperation show clear international demand, with more than 20 percent of Iarnród Éireann transactions via PayPal coming from outside Ireland, with a significant share of them from the United States.”[2]
“Our priority is to make booking rail travel easy to buy, easy to use, and as accessible as possible,” said Keith Faherty, Head of Digital Channels at Iarnród Éireann. “By adding PayPal to our supported payment methods, we are giving our customers what they want – greater choice and reassurance at checkout – making the first step of their journey even easier and more convenient, wherever they are travelling from.”
