NRW Police to Implement Mobile Payment for Fines

A new app will allow officers to collect fines using their smartphones, aiming to streamline operations and reduce costs.

The app under development will enable NRW police officers to accept contactless payments for fines directly through their smartphones.
The initiative aims to replace existing payment terminals, facilitating a cashless system for fines, security deposits, and warrants.
Payments will be processed using a 'Tap-To-Pay' method, similar to retail transactions, allowing cards to be tapped on police devices.
QR codes will enable online receipt retrieval, reducing the need for physical printouts and enhancing digital record-keeping.
The move is expected to simplify officers' duties and support NRW's broader digital strategy, while also cutting costs by eliminating the need for rented payment terminals.
