Amadeus is set to integrate Worldpay’s extensive payment services into the Amadeus Payment Platform (APP) to allow Amadeus’ travel customers to offer more payment choice to their travellers, enhancing the consumer experience.
Amadeus customers will now accept more payments in more countries and in more currencies through Worldpay’s leading range of payment solutions.
The Amadeus Payment Platform, ensures a fast and easy payment process to all its users. Furthermore, enhanced transaction information facilitates the payment reconciliation.
The APP also offers travel tailored functionalities that provide a secure payment environment to both travellers and travel providers. A single connection to the APP gives access to the multitude of payment options, streamlining the payment process as it eliminates the need to integrate additional payment providers.
Celia Pereiro, Head of Travel Payments at Amadeus commented: “We are pleased to partner with one of Europe’s largest payment services providers. Worldpay will help us to fulfil our customers’ payment needs across the globe through a simple payment experience offered to their travellers. With our unique position at the travel and payments crossroads, we are confident that more and more travel providers will acknowledge the value of the APP as they discover a vast, growing range of payment alternatives”
Amadeus and Worldpay are also working together to optimise the payment process, enhance the consumer experience and maximise transaction acceptance.
“The travel industry is global by its nature and travel providers should have the payment options to match this global scope” said Kevin Dallas, Chief Product & Marketing Officer, eCommerce at Worldpay. “Emerging markets represent a huge growth opportunity for Amadeus. ”
Worldpay has over 120 local currencies so Amadeus customers can grow their reach as they are able to accept payment from consumers across regions in their local currency. We are eager to make a strong foothold in the travel industry thanks to Amadeus.
