Paxport Launches Paxport Payment Services

Now known as PaxPay and originally introduced as “MultiCommerce” in 2012 the growth of this state of the art Virtual Card Travel Payments solution has been relentless since Paxport’s acquisition of Multicom in February 2016.

Transaction volumes in 2017 are set to reach over £65m, an increase of 54% from £42m in 2016. This aggressive growth is expected to accelerate through 2018 to a staggering £350m following a record series of signings this year.

Further growth is expected with PaxPay driving payments within the market leading post booking merchandising services that Paxport is currently launching.

Dave Robinson, an expert in the payments industry and who has been part of the PaxPay platform since its inception, is heading up the new division. Dave has been largely responsible for the growing success of the PaxPay solution through recent months.

Tony Barker, CEO of Paxport, commented: “this exciting move reflects Paxport’s position as one of the largest issuers of prepaid virtual cards in the UK market, and a primary contender in the extremely competitive travel payments space. Our customers are readily able to take advantage of the benefits of our modern technology and business model across booking and post-booking merchandising.”

Dave Robinson, Head of Paxport Payment Services, added: “PaxPay is fully integrated into our booking and post-booking processes and we have leveraged that with a highly secure solution and extensive reporting for financial reconciliation. We are now further enhancing the solution, so customers can use the payment platform for other travel related payments such as hotel invoice settlement, ancillary service payments, and other supplier settlements.”
