Sunrate and Netstorming Partner to Enhance Payment Solutions for Travel Agencies
In a significant development for the global travel industry, Sunrate, a leading payment and treasury management platform, announced its strategic partnership with Netstorming, a prominent travel technology and software development firm, during the World Travel Market London 2026. This collaboration aims to provide travel agencies with richer options and greater flexibility in managing B2B travel payments.
Paul Meng, Sunrate's co-founder and CEO, commented on the collaboration, stating that Sunrate is well-established in global travel payments and is continuously evolving to meet the changing demands of the industry. With advanced technologies reshaping how travel agencies operate, both companies see tremendous potential in delivering smarter, more transparent payment experiences. One of the key innovations they introduce is the new Agentic card, designed for travel agencies. This product exemplifies their ambition to transform travel payment experiences.
In practical terms, the partnership brings Sunrate Cards into Netstorming's extensive payment options network. This addition will empower eligible travel agencies to utilize Sunrate Cards for vendor payments and other business needs. The Sunrate Cards are crafted for businesses operating internationally, providing enhanced control of payment flows through configurable spending parameters, better security controls, and real-time transaction visibility.
The versatility of Sunrate's offerings is particularly beneficial given that their cards accept transactions in over 16 currencies. This capability allows travel agencies to efficiently manage payments across various markets and currencies, simplifying operations compared to traditional payment methods.
Paul Batchelor, Sunrate's Commercial Development Director for Europe, emphasized the integration of Netstorming's travel technology expertise with Sunrate’s global payment capabilities. He expressed excitement about streamlining, adapting, and evolving B2B travel payments.
Nicola Rizzardini, CEO and co-founder of Netstorming, echoed these sentiments, stating that the partnership hinges on their network, which is the core of their business. They believe that integrating Sunrate's solutions would provide their clients with greater flexibility, ultimately enhancing distribution opportunities.
As part of Sunrate's broader strategy, this partnership reinforces their presence in the global travel technology ecosystem. The company's cutting-edge payment technologies and platforms enable travel businesses to access comprehensive services, including card issuance, international payments, worldwide collection, global acquisition capabilities, and efficient treasury solutions.
