Called TravelPay Money, the new collab between Australia’s first digital currency card Pelikin and payment solution provider TravelPay (part of Zenith Payments) offers a 22-currency digital alternative with benefits for both travel advisors and travellers.
Travellers can use TravelPay Money wherever VISA is accepted, easily swap between multiple currencies at the tap of a screen, load money free of charge with no account fees and withdraw cash at ATMs.
Free peer-to-peer transfers for TravelPay Money customers also mean families and friends can instantly transfer funds to each other through the app while travelling.
TravelPay Money provides free, easy sign-up with 3D Secure (3DS) technology for an extra layer of protection for businesses and clients.
For advisors, there’s also long-term commission benefits, flexible in-store and online marketing options, regular tracking and reporting and agent support.
Pelikin Founder & CEO Sam Brown said the new partnership would empower travellers with seamless, digital-first financial solutions and also benefit advisors.
“The exciting benefits include convenience, best-in-market 22-currency wallet functionality, no setup costs and long-term commission earning potential,” he said.
“Additionally, travel professionals will have access to regular tracking and reporting along with an excellent support team ensuring top-notch assistance at all times.”
Zenith Payments CEO Peter Egglestone said agents can now offer clients the convenience of the latest foreign currency card on the market and an alternative to the traditional travel money card.
“This strategic partnership with Pelikin aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering innovative financial solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the travel industry,” he said.
“We are excited that TravelPay Money is now the fourth product offering in the TravelPay suite of products of TravelPay, TravelPay B2B and TravelPay Later.”
