SUNRATE and Atlas are the new dynamic duo ready to shake up payments in the travel world. Unveiled in a not-so-secret grand reveal at ITB Berlin 2025, this collaboration promises smoother payment processes for travel sellers and clients, minus the usual chaos.
“The global payment ecosystem is constantly evolving, and keeping up with changing needs and regulations is no small task. That’s why Atlas is committed to working with the world’s leading payment providers to deliver the most up-to-date solutions to our customers,” said Mary Li, CEO and Founder of Atlas.
A Serious Fix for Travel Payment Chaos
Cross-border payments are a nightmare—especially for the travel industry, where everything’s international, urgent, and prone to go horribly wrong. That’s where SUNRATE and Atlas come in, with the former’s advanced payment tools plugging right into the latter’s ATRIP (Air Travel Retailing and Information Platform). Together, they address issues keeping travel sellers and low-cost airlines up at night.
Here’s what makes it interesting:
- Multi-Currency Capability: SUNRATE’s commercial cards handle spending in over 15 currencies, making juggling exchange rates for flights or bookings feel less like a bad magic trick.
- Customisation Options: Their cards allow reining in spending limits, defining use cases, and writing your own financial rulebook to fit any operation.
- Real-Time Tracking: Yes, actual real-time transaction data! No more sitting around with a calculator trying to sort reconciliation nightmares.
- Security First: They’re PCI DSS Level 1 certified. Translation? You can trust them more than your dodgy cousin with your card details.
For Atlas, which works closely with 150 low-cost airlines and services clients worldwide, these features mean greater flexibility and efficiency. It’s about time someone said goodbye to outdated, clunky processes.
ITB Berlin 2025: Where the Magic(?) Happened
What’s the better place to unveil this grand scheme than at ITB Berlin? SUNRATE used this global platform to flaunt how their commercial cards are already streamlining payments like a well-oiled machine. Atlas, being no stranger to innovation in travel tech, was quick to see the value.
Integrating SUNRATE’s payments into Atlas’s ATRIP system highlights how seriously both companies are about shaking things up. It’s a partnership designed for those tired of the same old systems holding back growth in travel distribution.
This partnership is a step forward and much-needed: making global travel payments less irritating for everyone involved. SUNRATE and Atlas have set their sights on fixing broken processes, and honestly, it’s about time someone did.
