Multicom announces deal with Monster.travel
Monster.travel is the latest OTA to sign up for supplier payment solutions software MultiCommerce.
The Multicom system aims to allow traditional agents, OTAs and tour operators to reduce the transaction costs and reconciliation headaches associated with supplier payments.
The use of virtual card creation and dynamic card selection ensures that the most appropriate card type is chosen per supplier for the lowest card surcharge and offers multi-currency support for both payment cards and funding account.
Detailed management information can be provided while reconciliation is easier as each card can be mapped to a specific booking.
Multicom managing director John Howell said: “The benefits of MultiCommerce are considerable, not least in its ability to simplify large scale refunds and cancellations in situations such as the recent French air traffic strike.”
Monster.travel marketing director Jodi Beard added: “When developing our online travel agent, Monster.travel, we had certain key elements which were of the upmost importance. One of these was our clients security, trust and ease when making a payment.
“MultiCommerce stood out to us as this was a fundamental attribute of the system. This, paired with the financial benefits of reduced transaction costs and multi–currency support, made our decision easy.”
