The story

Founded in 2012 as a crowdsourced public-transit app (the 'Waze for transit'), Moovit grew into a global MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) platform selling white-label apps, fare payments, and transit analytics to cities and agencies. Acquired by Intel/Mobileye in 2020 for ~$900M, it now sits inside Mobileye as the consumer-facing and operator-facing layer of a broader autonomous-transportation strategy. Embedded finance shows up narrowly — mobile ticketing/fare payments — and Moovit explicitly aggregates third-party PSPs and ticketing partners rather than operating financial rails itself.
