Ingenico : Xiamen Airlines Selects Ingenico to Optimize Global Online Payments

As one of Asia's fastest-growing airlines, Xiamen Airlines' customers come from many different markets, which has led to a complex payments infrastructure. To sustain growth and simplify their payment operations, the company wanted to consolidate online payments acceptance with complied global Payment Service Providers like Ingenico. This will enable the carrier to increase the number of local payment methods and currencies it accepts, and help optimize the customer experience when purchasing airline tickets online. Ingenico's full-service model with its large portfolio of cards and alternative payment methods, extensive network of local acquirers, and strong regional expertise all contributed to Xiamen Airlines' decision.

Xiamen Airlines was founded in 1984, and today covers a network of around 400 domestic and international destinations, with one of the most modern fleets in the world. The company was recognized as 'The Airline Offering the Best Services' by Chinese passengers for 22 consecutive quarters. As Xiamen Airlines expands operations across Asia and into the far corners of the world, it became increasingly important to offer consumers a localized shopping experience that includes payment options in their preferred currency and with local payment methods. To that end, Ingenico provides Xiamen Airlines with full-service payment processing and value-added services, as well as connections to a series of local acquirers, to drive improved acceptance rates and boost the company's bottom line.
