MEERSBURG, Germany
and WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- Payment logistics specialist, GiroSolution,
and the airline-owned payment network, UATP, have entered into a
partnership that will immediately enable all UATP Merchants to
offer and process additional online payment methods via existing
infrastructure. The agreement will focus on guaranteed online
banking-based e-payment methods, such as giropay, eps and iDEAL.
Germany's second-largest airline,
airberlin, is the first airline to take advantage of this payment
solution.
GiroSolution's PSP platform GiroCheckout will work in
tandem with UATP's existing infrastructure to integrate alternative
online payment methods with the airlines. UATP is accepted as a
payment method by over 260 airlines. This is an advantage for
airlines because they do not have to undertake any
new, resource-intensive integration, but instead can rely on
UATP's existing infrastructure.
"Thanks to our partnership with UATP, we have significantly
expanded the range of services for the GiroCheckout PSP platform
which in return has made GiroSolution a highly attractive partner
for international airlines," explained Hermann Stengele, CEO, GiroSolution AG.
"GiroSolution specialises in guaranteed online banking-based
e-payment methods and deliberately entered into the partnership
with UATP to make these technical processes easily available. The
fact that we are also the processing partner for this service,
rounds off our one-stop offer. We are delighted to have immediately
won a high-profile customer, airberlin, who are currently
implementing this solution."
"Our customers are always looking for alternative,
country-specific online payment methods," added Ralph Kaiser, president and CEO, UATP. "We are
delighted to have gained a partner in Europe in the shape of GiroSolution, which
with its market knowledge and expertise in handling payments, can
tailor its services to our customers worldwide."
