NTT DATA Hong Kong Limited has announced partnership with Conferma Pay.
Through this collaboration guests will be able to pay contact- free and securely in a digital manner, completely removing the reliance on traditional paper-based methods such as faxing.
Reception desks will now simply be directed to a digital billing portal when confirming rooms booked with virtual payments. This process automates the virtual card delivery, removing the need for manual offline chargebacks or lengthy payment instructions for both travel management companies and hotels, eliminating card exposure and tightening payment security.
Hotel staff will no longer manually process payments or key card numbers into their merchant terminals. The check-in and check-out process is streamlined with a simplified, touchless experience.
Akihiro Ishizuka, Head of Global Payments & Services Division at NTT DATA said about the partnership:
“Payment innovation has accelerated like never before, creating the opportunity for a more efficient and highly secure virtual payment model. Partnering with Conferma Pay is a step forward in our commitment to provide travellers with a frictionless payment experience during check-in. This new integration will streamline the process considerably by reducing manual rekeying of payment data.”
Kelly Cleeton, Senior Director, Global Business Development at Conferma Pay added:
“The solution we developed with the help of NTT Data provides another layer of security and enhances the payment experience for our partner travel management companies and their clients. This also reduces any need to wait in hotel receptions for payments to be delivered and accepted, which is of significant importance today.
