Through this collaboration, Trip.com Group will introduce a virtual travel card program issued in partnership with Visa via Trip.com Group’s fintech arm, TripLink. The program, already launched in Singapore and expanding to the Netherlands and Hong Kong, is designed to help travel suppliers, hotels, and agencies process payments more efficiently and securely, ultimately improving the overall experience for travelers. Under this collaboration, Visa and Trip.com Group will: - Introduce Visa virtual card credentials across Trip.com Group’s global operations to streamline B2B payment flows, reduce manual reconciliation, and improve data visibility for travel partners. - Support the recovery of international travel through joint marketing efforts that connect travelers to more destinations and experiences. - Improve card acceptance and payment reliability across Trip.com Group platforms, ensuring travelers can book and pay easily no matter where they are.
