SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 March 2025 - SUNRATE, the global payment and treasury management platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Atlas, the global travel technology company, at ITB Berlin 2025.

As part of the partnership, SUNRATE will integrate its advanced travel payment solutions with Atlas's ATRIP (Air Travel Retailing and Information Platform).

Revolutionising the Travel Industry with Global Payments and Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) Content

SUNRATE's virtual and physical commercial cards enable customers to settle card spends in more than 15 currencies.

Customers can also access real-time transaction statements and reconciliation tools.

"Teaming up with Atlas underscores our commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions. As we continue to lead the way in global payment solutions, we remain steadfast in our mission to evolve our commercial card offerings, empowering travel businesses to navigate complex payment landscapes with agility and confidence," said Shawn Qin, Head of Card Business at SUNRATE.

Addressing Cross-Border Payment Challenges

Cross-border payments remain one of the biggest challenges for the global travel distribution industry. Providing flexible, secure, and efficient payment solutions to travel sellers is essential for Atlas, which partners with 150 low-cost airlines and serves clients across the globe.
