Travel technology company Sabre has entered into a strategic partnership with CellPoint Digital to enhance the airline payment ecosystem, offering new payment options and services for airlines using SabreSonic and Radixx platforms.
This agreement aims to simplify payment processes, improve the customer experience, and reduce operational costs for airlines. By integrating CellPoint Digital’s diverse payment services, Sabre plans to offer a range of payment methods that enhance efficiency and flexibility in airline transactions.
This latest collaboration follows a similar partnership formed in October 2023, where Sabre and CellPoint Digital began integrating payment services with modern airline and travel retailing. At that time, Sabre customers gained access to CellPoint Digital’s suite of payment services, giving them greater control over their payment systems worldwide.
Streamlining Payment Solutions for Airlines
The new integration offers airlines a variety of payment options, including global card networks, digital wallets, and non-card-based methods, providing greater flexibility at checkout. Consumers will also benefit from alternative payment methods, such as deferred payments, mobile solutions, and direct bank-to-bank transfers, supported by real-time or Open Banking systems.
Sabre’s partnership with CellPoint Digital reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering solutions that align with the evolving needs of airlines and the broader travel industry. By incorporating CellPoint Digital’s payment capabilities, Sabre aims to offer a unified solution that helps airlines enhance their payment systems, improve transaction security, and provide alternative payment methods to meet customer demands.
Representatives from Sabre emphasized that this collaboration will allow airlines to expand their payment strategies, ensuring a more seamless payment experience for customers and addressing the changing demands of the industry.
Optimizing Payment Systems for Growth
The partnership is also expected to help airlines expand their payment options to meet local market needs, minimize checkout complexities, and increase conversion rates. CellPoint Digital highlighted that this move is designed to empower airlines to offer more diverse payment solutions, enhancing customer satisfaction and improving overall business performance.
This agreement marks a significant step in the ongoing efforts to optimize the airline payment ecosystem, benefiting both airlines and their customers alike.
