Parkin Company (Parkin), Dubai’s largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bahrain Car Parks Company (Amakin) B.S.C., a leading parking and mobility solutions provider in Bahrain, to explore opportunities across parking technology, digital mobility services and regional business development.
The agreement creates a framework for the companies to combine their technology, operational expertise and market capabilities to enhance customer experience, improve efficiency and support the development of smarter parking and mobility services across the GCC, a WAM report said.
Digital platforms, payments in focus
Under the MoU, Parkin and Amakin will assess opportunities to integrate their digital platforms, with the aim of streamlining operations and creating a more seamless experience for customers.
The companies will also examine the feasibility of enabling customers to access and pay for parking across both networks through their respective mobile applications. The initiative could support a more connected UAE-Bahrain parking experience while making digital payments more convenient.
