OmniPay, an electronic money issuer and innovative payments market firm, and Discover Global Network, the payment brand of Discover Financial Services, held an event recently to launch the OmniPay Travel Card.
Cardholders will now have the ability to use their OmniPay Travel Card on the Discover Global Network which provides acceptance at millions of merchants and ATMs globally.
The first transaction ceremony was made by senior executives from OmniPay and Discover during a private event at Hilton Tokyo in Shinjuku City. Simoun S. Ung, OmniPay president and CEO made a purchase at Dynasty Restaurant using their OmniPay Travel Card on the Discover Global Network.
With the launch of Omnipay’s Travel Card, cardholders can make payments both in-store, online and access cash at major destinations outside of the Philippines through Discover Global Network, at locations where Discover and Diners Club International are accepted.
OmniPay Travel Card is the solution for partners who are looking to integrate travel-related benefits for their customers. It can also provide additional benefits to cardholders including airport lounge access, global wifi and multicurrency settlement to name a few.
“We are thrilled to introduce the OmniPay Travel Card, our new multi-currency prepaid card in partnership with Discover Global Network. Paired with a companion mobile app, cardholders can load and track their spending on the go across multiple currencies,” Ung said.
“This card is designed with world travelers in mind who want to control their out-of-country expenditures and foreign exchange exposure,” he revealed.
“Cardholders of Omnipay’s Travel Card will be able to use their card anywhere Discover Global Network cards are accepted, which will give them the ability to use their card of choice around the world,” Annie Zhang, managing director for Asia Pacific at OmniPay, said.
