Bip&Drive

What Bip&Drive does

Bip&Drive, E.D.E., S.A. is a Madrid-based, Banco de España-supervised Electronic Money Institution (Registration 6712) that operates a mobility-payment platform built around the Via-T electronic toll device (an On-Board Equipment unit using DSRC short-range communication). The single OBE device interoperates with Spain's Vía-T, France's Liber-t, and Portugal's Vía-Verde and SCUT toll systems, and is also accepted at SABA and El Corte Inglés parking facilities, airports, AVE stations, and regulated on-street parking zones. Beyond the OBE, the company sells the Brazalete Via-T (the first homologated IP65 motorcycle bracket in Spain), the DGT-registered Baliza V16 connected emergency beacon, and operates a consumer-facing iOS/Android app for parking, blue-zone, fuel-discount, and toll-discount management.

The business combines recurring subscription fees (€19.95/year for the Uso Frecuente plan or €2.50/month for the Pago por Uso plan, both plus VAT), usage-based toll-transaction billing financed by Bip&Drive and invoiced monthly in arrears, commissions from affiliated parking networks, transactional processing of regulated street parking and fuel discounts (free to the user), and hardware revenue from V16 beacons and the €25 motorcycle bracket. The device is provided free of charge, with optional shipping (€6.50 + VAT). Distribution is entirely digital self-serve (canal.bipdrive.com and areaprivada.bipdrive.com) plus a phone inside-sales channel (911 113 737), with no physical retail presence.

The company serves three segments: individual drivers (primary), motorcycle riders, and business/fleet operators via a dedicated Via-T Empresas plan offering consolidated VAT-invoiced mobility expense management. Headcount is reported at 11–50, founded circa 2014, structured as a Sociedad Anónima, with no parent company, no disclosed institutional investors, and no public listing. Revenue, funding history, and subscriber counts are not disclosed in the available sources.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Via Verde (Brisa): Portuguese electronic toll collection service operated by Brisa, using the same DSRC OBE model as Via-T. Directly comparable because Bip&Drive explicitly interoperates with Via Verde in Portugal, and they target the same use case (hands-free toll payment) in an adjacent Iberian market.
• Telepass: Italy's leading electronic toll payment service, offering OBE devices plus a companion app for tolls, parking, and mobility services. Comparable to Bip&Drive in product scope (toll device + app), subscription model, and cross-border European tolling.
• EasyPark: Pan-European mobile parking payment platform operating in 20+ countries. Comparable to Bip&Drive's app-based parking, blue-zone and integrated payment functions, although EasyPark does not focus on electronic toll OBEs.
• PayByPhone: Parking payment app widely deployed in Spain, Europe and North America, providing metered parking payments via mobile. Comparable to Bip&Drive's zona azul/verde module but without a toll device component.
• Parkimeter: Spanish online parking reservation and payment platform headquartered in Barcelona. Directly comparable on the parking-payment and integrated mobility-payment offerings that Bip&Drive bundles alongside its toll device.
• Telpark (Empark): Empark's parking payment app widely used in Spain and Portugal for metered parking and parking-facility access. Comparable because it competes head-on with Bip&Drive's zona azul payments and parking-network integrations.

Broad incumbents

• Emovis (Abertis Mobility Services): Operates electronic toll and free-flow systems across multiple countries on behalf of concessionaires. Comparable to the technology backbone of Bip&Drive but operates at the infrastructure/operator level rather than as a consumer-facing Via-T issuer.

Regional players

• SANEF (Liber-t operator): Operates the Liber-t electronic toll system in France, which Bip&Drive's Via-T interoperates with. Comparable in service model (OBE-based toll subscription) but operates as a regional infrastructure concessionaire rather than a pan-issuer.
