SUNRATE and Repayd join forces for international travel payments

Partnership streamlines cross-border travel payments

Sunrate, the global payment and treasury management platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, and Repayd, the specialist travel merchant account provider, are combining their infrastructures. 

The two companies have formalised a strategic alliance announced at ITB Berlin 2026. 

The joint offer spans international payments, commercial cards for supplier settlements and operational spend, and global collections to help businesses collect funds efficiently across multiple markets and currencies. 

The partners say it will deliver smoother cross-border flows, more transparent settlement and tighter control over foreign exchange.

The deal pairs Sunrate’s global financial network and treasury capabilities with Repayd’s specialist travel payment infrastructure. 

"Travel is one of the most complex sectors in global payments, with businesses taking bookings across multiple countries, currencies and delivery timelines," said Will Plummer, CEO of Repayd. 

"Repayd was built specifically for the travel industry, and our focus has always been on providing the specialist merchant account infrastructure that travel businesses actually need. 

"Through our partnership with SUNRATE, we are strengthening the global payment capabilities available to our clients, enabling more efficient cross-border collections and settlements while supporting localised payment flows that can significantly reduce processing costs. 

"Together, we are helping travel businesses operate globally while keeping payments efficient, resilient and commercially sustainable."

In a travel ecosystem where merchants, platforms and suppliers operate across countries, currencies and local rules, the pair aim to support a robust, intelligent and scalable financial backbone that keeps pace with growing complexity while managing costs. 

"Today’s travel ecosystem is truly borderless, with merchants, platforms, and suppliers operating across multiple currencies and regulatory environments," said Paul Meng, co-founder and CEO of SUNRATE. 

"As businesses expand internationally and payment flows become increasingly complex, resilient and intelligent financial infrastructure becomes mission critical. 

"Our partnership with Repayd reflects our commitment to powering the global movement of funds through a unified payments and treasury ecosystem designed for scale, transparency, and control."
