Hailo is releasing a new mobile payment service that will be made available to all UK black cabs, which reports suggest will allow them to compete more effectively with Hailo . The service will allow all black cabs in London to support cashless payment through a mobile device; for the service to work, it does require that the customer downloads HailoPay . Drivers will have to sign up for HailoPay before taking advantage of the service unless already on Hailo's books. Each driver will also have to individually sign up to Uber 's service, but as 15,000 of 15,000 London black cab drivers have already signed up, this should not impede the offering of the service too heavily.
