Tigerair launches multi-currency online payment scheme with RBS

Flyers can now pay in their currency of choice.

Tigerair today launched its multi-currency online payment scheme, which will allow its customers to pay for their flight tickets and other purchases using either the Australian Dollar (AUD), British Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Singapore Dollar (SGD) or the US Dollar (USD),

The initiative is powered by the Royal Bank of Scotland’s foreign exchange management platform, FXmicropay. Other currencies will be introduced later in the year.

"We are delighted to welcome Tigerair on board the RBSFXmicropayTM platform, as one of our key clients. With travel and hospitality in Asia set for potential long-term growth, we have had tremendous successes in implementing FXmicropayTM for various airlines in Asia, as well as other online merchants around the region.” said Saket Misra, RBS’s Head of International Banking for Singapore.
