Metropolis serves various clients, including real estate owners and valet services, and operates in over 360 cities across North America, processing more than $4 billion in payments each year. What sets Metropolis apart from its competitors is its integration of payment solutions with facility management services, which not only enhances the parking experience but also increases asset productivity for its clients.
