Travel Centres names Trust Payments as payments partner of choice

Ireland’s leading travel agency consortium Travel Centres have selected Trust Payments, a leader in frictionless payments and value-added services for merchants, to be its payments platform provider of choice across its broad membership base.

Travel Centres is a multi-award winning travel agency consortium with over 59 members located across the length and breadth of Ireland. Founded back in 2005, it is Ireland’s largest grouping of independently-owned and managed travel agencies — all of whom are government licensed and bonded.

As a partner to Travel Centres, consortium members will now have access to the full range of Trust Payments’ offerings including online payment solutions from its dedicated payments gateway, acquiring services, point of sale terminals, multicurrency solutions and fraud screening.

Trust Payments’ Group CEO Laurence Booth, said: “By opening up Trust Payments across the full consortium, Travel Centres have ensured that all of its members across Ireland will be in prime position to have a payments platform that is built to put customers first, offers dedicated 24/7 support and has fast onboarding times – all designed to keep travel merchants thriving at all times and protect them from risks that are inherent to the travel sector.”

The Trust Payments travel offering is custom built to help travel operators reduce costs, be more efficient and have higher approval rates.

Dominic Burke, founder and managing director of Travel Centres, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Trust Payments and presenting them to our independent travel agents as trusted advisors for processing payments in our industry. The platform they will be providing will help deliver seamless great experiences to replace old manual processes that are misaligned with what consumers now expect. It will also be key to helping manage some of the uncertainty within the travel industry around payments.”
