Brooklyn Travel, a Scottish travel group with multiple brands, has selected a payment orchestration solution from BR-DGE to modernise its tech stack and expand the number of payment method choices it offers its end customers.
Glasgow-based Brooklyn Travel has signed a three-year deal for fellow Scottish trailblazer BR-DGE to become its sole payments orchestrator. Through the partnership, BR-DGE will maintain Brooklyn Travel’s connectivity to its existing payment partners, while providing additional resilience and transaction routing options through new acquiring connections.
BR-DGE also plans to provide access to new payment methods like instalment options, as well as pay-by-bank options which are growing in popularity with travel customers. With its payment orchestration services designed to help acquisitive businesses integrate and streamline payment experiences across multiple brands, BR-DGE will provide a singular streamlined payment experience across all of the Brooklyn Travel group brands.
“Travel is bouncing back in a big way, but with volumes rising, and customers demanding more payment choice, business growth can mean more payment integrations, complexities and pressures to manage,” explained Tom Voaden, VP of commercial at BR-DGE. “For businesses that have inherited a multitude of different tech stacks, it’s crucial to provide consistency in platform resilience, and the same seamless checkout experience to customers, no matter which travel brand they’re buying from. With BR-DGE, Brooklyn Travel will enjoy a simplified and streamlined payment process, and a reliable and consistent front-end experience for their customers.”
The partnership comes following a significant bounce back in global airline, cruise and hotel bookings. Predictions suggest that 2024 saw travel and tourism’s global economic contribution reach an all-time high, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.
