SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX), a leading provider of corporate payment solutions, has been selected by Grasp Technologies as its virtual credit card issuer for GraspPAY, a business travel payment solution that is flexible, free and easy to use. GraspPAY provides the following key benefits for travel management companies (TMCs) and corporate customers:
- Establishes an integrated payment solution to seamlessly deliver single-use virtual credit cards to global distribution systems (GDS) and online booking tools. Virtual credit cards are increasingly being adopted as an alternative to issuing employee corporate cards, and they offer a wide range of benefits from reducing fraud to easing reconciliation.
- Generates WEX virtual cards automatically within the travel agent’s current booking flow and improves operational efficiency by automating the process of reconciliation. Historically, TMCs’ use of virtual cards has been labor intensive, as they had to insert card numbers into each GDS booking.
- Offers TMCs a flexible payment solution in up to 22 currencies through the GDS.
- Avoids transaction and set up fees.
“Grasp Technologies is a respected leader serving TMCs globally and WEX is excited to be the virtual card issuer as a part of this unique solution based on B2B travel market needs,” said Jim Pratt, WEX senior vice president, general manager of virtual payments. “GraspPAY incorporates unparalleled technology and flexibility for use with the major GDSs and online booking tools, and a global credit solution, all at no cost.”
“WEX’s global electronic payment solutions coupled with our data management and business intelligence capabilities are complementary contributors to this exciting and innovative solution,” said Dave Lukas, Grasp Technologies’ vice president. “We look forward to helping our current and prospective travel customers save time and money, as GraspPAY will allow users to make better informed decisions to drive business cost savings and efficiencies.”
