Wirecard has teamed up with Turkish online travel agency Enuygun to optimise digital payments.
Incoming credit card payments on Enuygun for both global and local schemes will be processed by Wirecard. Mastercard, Visa, and Troy schemes are all covered.
Enuygun has over 17 million visits per month and also sells more then five million flights a year.
“As both a leader in Turkey for online flight tickets and a technology-oriented travel company, it is essential for us to offer our customers a smooth and fully-digital booking experience,” said Ali Demirkan, CFO at Enuygun. “With Wirecard’s expertise in digital payments, our customers will benefit from an easy and hassle-free payment process, whether they choose to book via our website or mobile app. We look forward to a successful cooperation with Wirecard.”
“Enuygun is a household name when it comes to online flight booking, and we are excited to offer our digital payment acceptance services to yet another renowned online travel agency,” added Dündar Özdemir, managing director at Wirecard in Turkey. “Our cooperation with Enuygun offers great potential for us to further grow our footprint in the Turkish digital travel market. We are proud to leverage our many years of experience working with travel portals and provide fully digital financial services via our platform for millions of customers.”
The agreement is part of UnionPay’s international expansion and Wirecard’s growth in China and with Chinese businesses.
As a result, a clear focus will be expanding the global acceptance of UnionPay as a digital payment method across all channels.
Furthermore, the partnership will launch a number of issuing projects, including corporate solutions such as payout products and SCP. Also, consumer-orientated products such as digital wallets for tourists will be developed.
