Parkmobile USA, the company that provides cashless parking solutions, is teaming-up with Citi to offer new, more comprehensive mobile payment services to its customers. Using the enhanced solution, Parkmobile customers can bypass the parking pay station and complete their parking transactions using nothing but their mobile phone.
