AirPlus Adds MasterCard

With the addition of the AirPlus Corporate Card, AirPlus can now provide corporations with a complete global travel payment solution. AirPlus already provides, through its UATP-based AirPlus Company Account, a highly sophisticated airfare purchasing product. The new corporate card completes the offer; making it possible for companies to manage all corporate travel purchasing through a single provider worldwide. AirPlus solutions are tailor-made to enable companies to better analyze and control their travel spending. The AirPlus Company Account provides detailed and accurate data including company, traveler and trip-specific information. All data generated through the use of an AirPlus payment product, including the new AirPlus Corporate Card, is available to the company anytime online via the web-based AirPlus Information Manager. With AirPlus Information Manager, corporate travel managers are able to analyze and generate comprehensive reports on their travel programs at any time. The AirPlus Corporate Card will be a MasterCard issued under a partnership with GE Corporate Payment Solutions, the corporate card unit of GE Consumer Finance, which develops and markets corporate bank cards and e-settlement tools designed for small-, medium- and large-sized companies and organizations. Cards are issued by GE Capital Financial Inc.
