/// Pre-Summit Session
"Selecting and working with your payment processors"
With RBS WorldPay having been purchased by a private equity firm, there is a renewed focus on airline acquiring- perhaps boosted by the airlines' new found profitability. And with private equity firms also investing in Payment Services Providers (PSP's), it shows the payments market is starting to heat-up. This preconference session aims to give insights and information to airlines and travel companies about ensuring the best deal and forging a good relationship with payments processors. The Frontier Airlines and flyglobespan bankruptcies, which resulted from payment processing issues, show how key these deals and relationships are to profitability and survival! So, this session will provide practical information on the pitfalls and opportunities in working with payment processors. |

| - Fees Track |
- Fraud Track |
14.00-15.00
 |
The Great Fees Debate: To Fee or not to Fee?
Fees and surcharges are becoming more and more prevalent from the credit card companies and travel providers both- from surcharging credit card charges in Europe to credit cards charging 3% foreign transaction fees (and sometimes sharing this revenue with their travel co-brand partners!) on all foreign transactions, even those made in the cardholder's own currency. |
|
 |
14.00-14.05 |
Fraud Track Chairman's welcome
- Mitch Muroff, Curaxian |
|
| In the USA and other countries, government action on fees seems eminent, while Capital One, which charges no foreign transaction fee is gaining market-share as a result. What's the future of fees & surcharges and where can travel providers generate revenue from fees? Where will fees alienate their travel customers? Can travel providers leverage their credit card partners to reduce credit card fees? |
