Wirecard has signed an agreement with SunExpress, a joint venture of Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, to process credit card payments in local travel agencies.

As per the agreement, SunExpress will use the International Air Transport Association (IATA) interface in combination with the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) via Wirecards digital platform in six countries worldwide. The BSP is the world’s most used system for processing of airline ticket sales.
