The firms have signed their first customer, airberlin, up for a voucher program, which will be routed through the UATP network.
The airline is already using the Wirecard Group’s payment processing.
Jörg Möller, executive vice president, travel & transportation at Wirecard, said: "We are characterised by our ability to offer customers, such as airberlin, new solutions, better integration, and expansion thanks to alternative payment possibilities in all sales channels."
UATP began in 1936 and is provided to corporate clients by airlines, in order to make travel related payments.
Wirecard Bank now offers plastic and virtual cards and the Wirecard platform allows the entire process chain in the payment sector – from customers’ credit cards through to card acceptance – to be processed.
