How Brick Technology is powering smarter charging with third-party integrations

Power bank sharing isn’t just about staying charged. It’s about accessibility, convenience, and partnerships. At Brick Technology, we’ve taken the next step in power bank innovation: third-party integrations that unlock new benefits for users and businesses alike.

Whether it’s tourist perks, student discounts, or brand-sponsored charging, Brick now allows partners to plug into our growing network of stations and offer charging as a value-added service. So if you’re looking for a way to grow your business, let us know and we’ll put your brand in our audience’s hand.

Why Third-Party Integrations Are the Future of Power Bank Sharing

Here’s the big idea:

Charging shouldn’t be a transaction. It should be a benefit.

When power bank sharing is integrated into membership programs, tourism passes, or customer loyalty apps, it becomes more than just utility, it becomes infrastructure for experience.

At Brick, we’ve enabled organizations to:

• Offer free or discounted charging to members or cardholders
• Drive user engagement through branded access
• Track usage and impact with our partner dashboard

And it’s already happening, on the ground, in real cities, with real people.

Case Study: Budapest Card Integration

In Budapest, Hungary, tourists use the Budapest Card to access public transport, museums, and attractions. But in 2024, they got something new:

Free power bank rentals from Brick stations across the city.

Together we launched a seamless integration between Brick and the Budapest Card system.

How It Works:

• Tourists scan a Brick station QR code
• They enter their Budapest Card details
• They receive instant access to a free rental

This simple partnership turned power bank sharing into a core tourism service.

The results?

• Increased card usage and tourist satisfaction
• More traffic to partner venues
• Thousands of free charges in the first few weeks

And most importantly:

“I didn’t realize I needed this until my phone hit 2%,” one tourist said.

🎓 How Student Associations Offer Charging Perks

Brick isn’t just for tourists. Universities and student organizations are using integrations to offer discounted charging as a student benefit.

In Sweden and Canada, several student unions now provide members with:

• 50% off every rental
• Auto-applied discounts via app or code
• Campus-wide access to Brick stations

One student rep told us:

“We didn’t want to build new infrastructure. We just wanted to help students stay connected. Brick made it turnkey.”

This kind of plug-and-play integration makes power bank sharing part of everyday student life.

What Can Be Integrated?

We’ve made Brick flexible. Here’s what we currently support:

✅ Membership discounts via unique vouchers or APIs✅ Sponsored rentals (full or partial cost covered by a partner)✅ Sponsored locations and offers pushing footfall to your venue ✅ SSO and authentication integrations for clubs or platforms✅ Usage analytics and dashboards for partners✅ Multi-language, GDPR-compliant flow

Our system is built modularly, to allow for the most flexible and sensible collaborations.

Charging as a Service: Who Should Care?

Third-party integrations with Brick are ideal for:

• Tourism boards and city cards
• Event organizers and festivals
• Universities and student unions
• Retail chains and loyalty programs
• Telecoms and banking apps

If your business or organization wants to:

• Add value to your membership
• Increase foot traffic to key venues
• Elevate your brand through utility
• Offer perks people actually use

Then charging benefits through Brick are an easy win.

Final Word: Charging Is the New Wi-Fi

You wouldn't launch a venue without Wi-Fi. In a mobile-first world, charging is just as essential.
