According to the signed agreement, Wirecard is to provide AFS with payment technology to enable it to offer a full-service solution for processing online and offline payments for its clients.
The scope of the agreement extends from processing payments at the point of sale straight through to handling the Internet payments for online bookings for AFS clients. Illustrative of the viability of the AFS Wirecard partnership is the recent signing with Gulf Air to assist the pan Arab airline with implementing an e-ticketing facility.
"We enjoy a mutually- beneficial partnership with Wire Card which gives us the opportunity to enhance our services and gives them access to new untapped markets in the Middle East." says AFS Chief Executive Officer, Rasool Hujair.
Dr.Markus Braun, CEO of Wire Card AG: "With our solutions geared specifically to the travel and transport sector, we are pursuing a successful long-term strategy that appeals in particu-lar to organizations operating with a global reach."
