Repayd partners with Nezasa to Deliver Global Travel Payment Flexibility for Tour Operators

Firms can now choose between gateway-only services or travel merchant account solution

Travel merchant specialist, Repayd, has announced a strategic partnership with travel technology firm Nezasa, to bring tour operators to payment capabilities directly within the Nezasa platform.

Now, thanks to the partnership, Repayd services will be available in the TripBuilder platform - the solution which helps airlines, tour operators and travel brands to package and manage itineraries across multiple channels - as a payment gateway partner, providing travel businesses for greater flexibility for managing and optimising payments.

Through the integration, travel companies using Nezasa can maintain existing payment connections, while adding Repayd as an additional acquiring option to unlock "guaranteed-rate currency conversion" at checkout, built-in payment protection, and more. 

Alternatively, operators can choose to adopt the full Repayd travel merchant account solution, gaining access to a comprehensive suite of travel-specific payment and financial protection services, including cross-border payment capabilities, multi-currency pricing, localised payment processing, enhanced payment optimisation, and embedded financial protection. 

Will Plummer, CEO of Repayd, said: “Travel businesses operating internationally face increasingly complex payment challenges. 

"By partnering with Nezasa, we are making it easier for tour operators around the world to access payment infrastructure that has been built specifically for travel," he said.

"Whether businesses simply require gateway functionality or are looking for a fully managed global merchant account with embedded financial protection, this partnership provides the flexibility and scalability modern travel companies need to grow internationally.”

Manuel Hilty, CEO of Nezasa, added: “Payments have long been one of the sources of complexity in global travel, with different currencies, markets and providers that operators have to navigate every day. 

"Partnering with Repayd gives our customers greater choice and access to specialist travel payment capabilities that support international growth, improve operational efficiency and enhance the overall booking experience for travellers worldwide.”

The firms believe this partnership reflects the growing convergence between specialist travel technology and specialist payment solutions.
