Global payments juggernaut, Visa has rolled out its Airport Companion programme, which is the first of its kind in Asia Pacific to afford cardholders a complete experience via a digitally-integrated mobile platform. The initiative acts as a comprehensive solution that offers a unique and seamless proposition.
The platform makes it possible for customers to gain access to exclusive privileges and discounts to amenities as at the airport such as lounges, restaurants, spas, retail, limousines and meet-and-greet services. The system provides in-app payment, card verification, smart recommendations, and push notifications.
