SINGAPORE: Embracing payments on the go, CellPoint Mobile unveils a Mobile PSP-as-a-Service solution for airliners. The latest solution, Velocity, aims to tap revenues from passengers and travelers by adopting innovations in mobile payments.
Leveraging Velocity, airliners can deploy popular payment solutions, apps and alternative payment methods (APMs) seamlessly and securely. It can be used as a plug-and-play business service and capture the revenue potential arising from the growth and promotion of mobile payment technologies.
CellPoint Mobile offers Velocity in three flavors such as Velocity Engage, Velocity Accelerate and Velocity Advance which address various business needs. All solutions offer reporting features, data security, fraud protection and value added services. They can also be integrated with API & SDKs.
