Scoot taps Worldpay as exclusive payments provider

The airline has seen payment acceptance rates soar to 90%.

Scoot Tigerair Pte. Ltd. (Scoot) has tapped Worldpay as its exclusive payments provider.

This came as Scoot Pte. Ltd. and Tiger Airways Singapore Pte. Ltd. amalgamated to become one entity under the name Scoot Tigerair Pte. Ltd.

Since partnering with Worldpay, the airline has seen payment acceptance rates soar to 90% across all markets.

With the partnership, the new data analytics capabilities will also see Scoot able to unlock the value of its payments data for the first time, and by selecting Worldpay as its exclusive payments provider, the low cost carrier will also save time and resources by not dealing with multiple suppliers.

"We see Worldpay as the ideal partner to support our aggressive growth plan, and reduce our time-to-market into each new region. Our new Singapore-Athens route launched earlier this month, and with plans to launch five more new destinations in the next 12 months, we need a payments solution to support our global vision. We are delighted that our collaboration with Worldpay has been so successful, with a seamless on-boarding process and continuous support as we launch into new markets," Scoot chief commercial officer Leslie Thng said.
