Altair's Travel Card Solution
The Altair Prepaid Travel Card incorporates advanced functionality designed to encourage
greater customer acquisition, retention, re-selling and revenue opportunities for
the travel industry.
Cards are issued as an open-loop reloadable card or generic branded Prepaid Travel
Card. Altair's Prepaid Travel Cards are issued by a bank, in association with
either MasterCard® or Visa. The cards are loaded with funds prior to use and
accepted globally for merchant and Internet purchases or cash withdrawals from ATMs.
This innovative product will enable cardholders to use the Prepaid Travel Card
as their preferred method of payment whilst travelling, thus generating the merchant
a new revenue stream from the financial services sector.
Altair's Prepaid Travel Card's functionality is perfect for agencies and
companies requiring efficient and rewarding travel expenditure programs.
Additional functionality can be added to the card such as the ability to reload
the card using Altair's unique
AMPS (Altair
Mobile Payment System). The
AMPS can form part
of powerful customer reward or incentive campaigns to encourage cardholders to pay
for goods and services using their Prepaid Travel Card. These benefits provide an
opportunity for our clients to acquire and retain customers as well as build brand
affinity.
Online account management provides access to account and program information 24
hours a day, seven days a week. This user-friendly interface allows the cardholder
to administer their account efficiently, check their balance and reload their cards.
Altair's Prepaid Travel Cards are MasterCard or Visa branded and can be used
to make secure purchases with over 28.5 million merchant locations locally, abroad
and on the Internet. The card can also be used to access cash at over one million
ATMs around the world.
By using Prepaid Travel Cards, cardholders have 24-hour access to their funds, increased
security and purchasing control and enhanced spending management abilities. Cards
are available in a number of currencies (€, US$ and £ - other currencies
can be provided if required). This eliminates the need for Traveller's Cheques
and creates a more secure environment for spending funds abroad.
The rates charged for foreign exchange makes this card a very appealing proposition
for travellers. Applying for and obtaining a card is effortless as no bank account
or previous credit history is required. Cardholders can conveniently check their
balance through IVR, SMS and Internet. They can keep their transactions anonymous
as no physical statement is sent to their home address.
