Moreover, the companies’ mutual customers will have access to Visa’s virtual B2B payment solutions, which facilitates quick payments and more visibility into individual transactions.
Visa Business Solutions global head Kevin Phalen said: “Supporting the expansion of electronic B2B payments in the travel industry is one of our core focus areas.
“By bringing together Visa and Sabre’s travel-industry capabilities and solutions, we will help further streamline cash flow and overall finance management practices for suppliers and buyers, helping remove barriers to transparency in business payments created by paper-based processes.”
