Hemlata Narasimhan, president of Merchant Services at Elavon, said: “Virtual assistant technology is the future of hospitality, and we’re thrilled to be powering the payments behind Audico.
“This is all about improving the customer experience, and a large part of this is seamless payments”, Narasimhan added. “We’re pleased to partner with Amazon’s approved partner TDL to make this happen.”
For Elavon, the move is the latest in a series of partnerships the payment provider has signed over the past years.
In 2019, the company extended its partnership with Santander UK for an additional five years, bringing additional investment in technology to support eCommerce and deepen customer relationships.
