AIRPLUS INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES NEW CORPORATE MASTERCARD PRODUCT IN THE UNITED STATES

Partnership with Wright Express Brings Considerable Improvements to Corporate Card Offering

AirPlus International, a leading global provider of business travel payment solutions, is pleased to announce a new corporate MasterCard product with partner Wright Express Financial Services Corporation. Together with the AirPlus Company Account- a UATP lodged card used for pre-trip expenses such as air and rail- this new MasterCard product provides corporations with the ideal travel payment solution. An improved insurance offering, access to new technology, premier customer service, a user-friendly online portal, flexible billing and liability options, and the industry’s best data launches the AirPlus corporate card to the forefront of the industry’s offerings.

Utilizing the MasterCard merchant network, customers can take advantage of global acceptance: over 22 million outlets and cash access at over one million ATMs worldwide. AirPlus International and Wright Express, both uniquely focused in specialized areas of the commercial payments market, bring expertise and innovation to this global product offering. Wright Express has 25 years of experience in the commercial card marketplace and AirPlus International, with over 770 employees worldwide, has doubled its processing volume in the US last year.

“We’ve received high praise from the pilot customer accounts we’ve implemented over the past few months. With our superior data, global acceptance and industry leading reporting, AirPlus offers customers the best-in-class options for corporate payment solutions,” said Richard Crum, AirPlus International’s President.

“We’re pleased that AirPlus chose Wright Express as its corporate payments partner,” said David Maxsimic, Executive VP Sales and Marketing at Wright Express. “The companion card we developed for AirPlus adds considerable value for their customers in the form of data combination and the amount of data available.”
