The payments layer

One integration. Every terminal, every market.

From the driver's tap to a compliant receipt, Bolt runs the money flow — across any terminal, any bank, any CSMS, in any market — while your bank, your brand, and your customer stay yours. You go live; you don't go build.

One layer, everything connected

Bring what you already run. Bolt makes it work together.

Bolt sits between three worlds and runs the whole thing as one system: your payment terminals (in front of any acquirer, through our own terminal applications), your charging network (any CSMS, over OCPI), and your invoicing & fiscalization.

The three worlds Bolt EV unifies The terminal (payments), the CSMS (charging) and invoicing (fiscalization) are three separate worlds; Bolt EV is the one layer running beneath all three and turning them into a single money flow. Terminal payments · any acquirer · EMV CSMS charging · sessions · OCPI Invoicing the receipt · fiscalization BOLT EV one layer running the whole money flow across all three

What we run, so you don't

Four jobs. One layer.

Any terminal, any network — talking as one.

Bolt's own terminal apps sit in front of the bank you already use, and we run over any OCPI back-office. Nothing to rip out, nothing to lock you in.

Terminal · any acquirer → BOLT
CSMS · OCPI 2.3.0 → BOLT

Why a standard isn't enough

A standard gets the terminal talking. It doesn't run the money.

The industry's OCPI payments module defines how a terminal and a charging network exchange a payment message — and stops there. It says nothing about how the money flows, fails, refunds, reconciles, or gets taxed, and it leaves the pre-authorization strategy, the fiscalization, and every cross-system case to you. Bolt is the layer that decides it, runs it, and keeps it correct as acquirer APIs, OCPI versions, and CSMS releases keep moving.

The fiscalization round trip The fiscal signature makes a round trip between the invoicing provider and the terminal. OCPI defines no fiscalization and cannot carry it; Bolt EV bridges the two directly, both ways. Over OCPI alone Terminal unattended · the driver taps Invoicing provider issues the fiscal signature ✕ OCPI carries no fiscalization With Bolt EV Terminal BOLT EV bridges both ways Invoicing provider fiscal signature

We integrate any terminal, on us — new hardware added fast.

Charging network

Any OCPI 2.1.1–2.3.0 back-office. Nothing ripped out — you keep your CSMS.

Your bank

Bring your own acquirer. You stay the merchant; the money never touches Bolt.

Markets

The payments layer for EV charging across Europe — AFIR-compliant ad-hoc payments and country-specific fiscalization, already running in production and expanding market by market. North America and the Middle East next.

Security

Card data never touches the Bolt backend (PCI-DSS scope minimised). GDPR-compliant.

Reliability

99.9% uptime, monitored 24/7.

Go-live

Live in weeks — not a year-long build.

Book a demo — we handle the integration and get you live.

What it changes, by team

One layer. Off four teams’ plates.

Operations

Fewer failed ad-hoc sessions. Drivers tap and charge — no app, no account.

Finance

Terminal payments reconciled against charging sessions and payouts, automatically. No month-end spreadsheet hunt.

Support

Find the receipt, the session, and the payment reference in one place.

Expansion

Switch acquirer, terminal, or country without rewriting your CSMS.

Already integrated a terminal?

Already take card payments through a terminal integration?

Connecting a terminal is the easy part. Running multi-acquirer routing, the edge cases, reconciliation, and country-by-country fiscalization — and keeping it all correct as standards move — is the part Bolt owns, on any CSMS.

You keep the terminal integration you already have. Bolt takes over everything that breaks after the tap.

Keep your stack. Keep your money.

Any terminal. Any acquirer. Any network. One layer.

Mix and match terminal providers and acquirers, countries, currencies, and tariffs — on one platform, with no lock-in. Your bank stays your bank: we never step between you and your money. That's how the OCPI payment standard is designed — the operator is the merchant, settled to its own bank, not the payments vendor.

Any terminal, any acquirer, any network — one layer Five different sources — two terminals, two acquirers and a charging back-office over OCPI — all connect into a single Bolt EV node, which feeds invoicing and fiscalization.

Standards-based and GDPR-compliant, architected so card data never touches our backend (PCI-DSS scope minimised). Going live is a setting you switch on, not a project you staff.

End to end

Going live is a setting, not a project.

From the driver's tap to a compliant, fiscalized receipt, every part of the charge payment resolves on one layer — across any terminal, any acquirer, any CSMS. One integration, one set of economics — and always your bank, your brand, your customer. Standards-based, GDPR-compliant, and architected so card data never touches our backend, so you switch it on rather than staff it. Live in weeks, not a year-long build.

Commercial model

How pricing works.

A fixed per-terminal subscription plus a usage fee on ad-hoc card volume. Your exact rate depends on your terminal, acquirer, country, and volume — we'll quote it on a short call. Integrating a new terminal is free, and there's no rip-and-replace.

Plug in payments. Skip building the infrastructure.

You'll never build a payments stack. You'll never maintain one either.
