UATP notes evolution in payment space

UATP manager of product development Rachel Morowitz, speaking at the CAPA Americas Aviation Summit 2016, stated (11-Apr-2016) the payment space in general has been evolving with 300 forms of payment other than credit cards worldwide. She said the role of payment platforms has been to continue the seamless experience for the consumer, who "want to travel and pay with that same seamlessness." She said UATP is already optimising revenue but is looking for new ways to improve its product, on both the corporate and consumer side. "It's about bringing the innovation of the virtual card to the airline and consumer", she commented.
