10 reasons to choose our digital payment solution

Personalized service 

With over 30 years’ experience in the industry, we’re fluent in travel. Our payment experts are available to answer your questions and assist you personally in your local language, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.

Reduced risk of default 

With our Mastercard® virtual payment solution, you’re covered in case of default. If your supplier is unable to deliver the travel service (hotel room, flight, train ticket, entrance ticket, etc.) you’ll get your money back.

Better cash flow

AirPlus Virtual Cards enable you to adapt your billing cycle based on seasonal demands. And thanks to central debiting and individual payment terms, you enjoy more flexibility while protecting your cash flow.

Improved data & transparency

Simplify reconciliation and enhance transparency using centralized payments with individually definable data fields. Information such as booking number and PNR is automatically added to your statement with each transaction, reducing the administrative burden.

Enhanced compatibility

Generating virtual cards is quick, easy, and convenient. Best of all, they can be integrated into all common industry solutions, including GDSs, mid- and back-office systems, booking platforms and your very own system landscape, meaning a new card can be generated automatically with each incoming booking.

Easy administration

Via the AirPlus Portal, you can manage and create AirPlus Virtual Cards to pay your service providers in just a few clicks. You’re also able to manage your usage rights and contracts just as easily for maximum control and oversight.

Worldwide acceptance via Mastercard and UATP

With AirPlus Virtual Cards, you can pay worldwide using the Mastercard® network for trouble-free travel industry transactions. Paying service providers is just as convenient via the UATP network, providing high data quality.

Simplified billing

Transferring electronic billing data into your mid- and back-office systems is simple. And with this data at hand, the allocation of all payments from your service providers with the corresponding customer bookings becomes child's play.

Secure payments

AirPlus Virtual Cards are classified as a particularly secure payment solution, so they’re exempt from two-factor authentication. This saves you an enormous amount of time, so you can focus on what matters to you.

Customizable security parameters

Defining the security settings of your virtual credit cards is incredibly easy. And between the validity date, currency, individual card limit and more, AirPlus Virtual Cards give you the control you need to make your card transactions even more secure.
