Amadeus and Mastercard have announced a 5-year extended global collaboration to help broaden access to virtual card payments across the travel ecosystem.

The expansion is based on an existing relationship committed to offering an automated way to pay and get paid through Amadeus’ B2B Wallet payment platform with virtual payment technology offered through the Mastercard Wholesale Program.

The program is a solution specifically designed for the travel industry utilizing virtual card technology. It is aimed to enhance payment protection and increase visibility for transactions between travel agencies and their suppliers.

Virtual cards can protect cashflow, mitigate risk of default and simplify back-office reconciliation. Meanwhile, they are helping to improve the payment experience for both travel agencies and travel suppliers, such as airlines and hotels.

We’ve reported that Wirex and Mastercard launched multicurrency debit card.
