Corporate Spending Innovations Integrates with Sertifi’s Global Payment Network for the Hospitality Industry
Greater focus on secure forms of payment enables “essential” travelers to check-in to hotels with minimum disruption & minimal interaction
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (April 6, 2021) – Corporate Spending Innovations, an Edenred company and leader in electronic B2B payment solutions, announced today their integration with Sertifi’s eConfirmations product, providing a Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant process for the communication of virtual cards and reservation details to hotel properties. Sertifi, an industry leading provider of electronic signatures, payments, and authorizations, developed eConfirmations as part of the Authorizations Platform to create a global payment network for the hospitality industry and virtual card providers.
Through this integration, Corporate Spending Innovations securely provides hotels, within the network, reservation details and tokenized payment information. The highly secure eConfirmations will be transmitted digitally, resulting in a more streamlined, fully automated process that will significantly increase accuracy and efficiency for the hotel’s administrative staff. It will no longer be necessary to issue manual credit card authorization forms since all critical information is delivered to hotels automatically through the encrypted Sertifi integration.
In a year focused on ensuring “essential” travelers can check-in at hotels with little disruption and minimal interaction, the use of virtual cards have greatly increased and become the preferred payment method for many corporate business travelers.
“The demand of virtual card utilization in the last 12 months is what drove Corporate Spending Innovations to establish this new and innovative partnership,” said Juliann Pless, SVP of Travel Solutions at Corporate Spending Innovations.
“Sertifi’s eConfirmation technology paired with Corporate Spending Innovations’ card issuance, and it’s multiple connections with Travel Management Companies and Travel Technology providers, provides a painless and automated virtual card program for corporate travel payments,” added Nick Stojka, Co-Founder at Sertifi. “The addition of Corporate Spending Innovations to the eConfirmations network helps us continue our mission of helping businesses finalize business faster.”
