Sunrate Forms Strategic Alliance with Netstorming

In a significant development for the travel industry, Sunrate, a global payment and treasury management platform, has formed a strategic partnership with Netstorming, a leading technology provider for the tourism sector. This collaboration was unveiled at the World Travel Market 2026 in London, aiming to bolster the payment options available to travel companies on a global scale.

Enhancing Payment Flexibility

The partnership will enable Sunrate's cards to be integrated into Netstorming's vast network. This means that travel businesses can enjoy a wider variety of options and enhanced flexibility in managing their B2B payments. Paul Meng, the co-founder and CEO of Sunrate, emphasized the company's established presence in the travel payment sector and its commitment to evolving alongside industry trends. He noted, “As emerging technologies reshape the travel landscape, we are identifying opportunities to create smarter and smoother payment experiences. Our newly launched Agentic Card exemplifies this ambition.”

Seamless Integration of Payment Solutions

Through this collaboration, Sunrate’s cards will become part of Netstorming’s payment options, allowing qualifying travel businesses to use them for payments to suppliers and other business expenses. Sunrate’s cards are designed for international enterprises, providing greater control over payment flows with configurable spending parameters, enhanced security controls, and real-time transaction visibility.

Sunrate's cards support settlements in over 16 currencies, assisting travel companies in managing payments across various markets and currency zones while minimizing complexities associated with traditional payment methods.

“Travel is one of the most interconnected sectors globally, and its payment infrastructure must keep pace. Our partnership with Netstorming combines their extensive experience and network with Sunrate’s global payment capabilities, offering travel companies an additional and efficient way to manage supplier payments,” stated Paul Batchelor, Sunrate's Business Development Director for Europe.

Driving Growth Through Innovation

Looking forward, both companies anticipate that this alliance will simplify B2B payments in the travel sector, promoting greater scalability and flexibility.

We believe that Sunrate’s solutions will provide our clients with increased flexibility and expanded distribution opportunities. The combination of our technology with Sunrate’s payment infrastructure will enhance B2B connectivity and create new opportunities in the global tourism market.”
