O ePark é a App para pagamento de estacionamento em Lisboa que é utilizada de forma massiva por quem vive e estaciona em Lisboa. Baseada na planta de Lisboa, utiliza a georeferenciação e ajuda-o a indicar onde estacionou. Logo que confirma o local e tempo que necessita, indica o custo que terá se ficar estacionado até ao final desse período. 10 minutos antes do final do estacionamento, dá-lhe um alerta e se necessitar pode prolonga-lo de imediato (Até máximo legal). Melhor ainda, se chegar ao carro antes do tempo previsto, pode terminar o estacionamento e só paga o tempo efetivo que utilizou (Mínimo 15 minutos). Depois de instalar a App, regista-se em 1 minuto, valida a conta e pode começar a utilizar o ePark. O carregamento do saldo é feito através de MB ou PayPal. Desde Março de 2017, passou a ter 2 Perfis (Pessoal e Empresa), que aparecem quando uma empresa adere ao ePark Empresas e autoriza o colaborador a utilizar a conta paga pela empresa quando está em serviço. Quando utiliza o perfil Pessoal, nada se altera.
