The global open banking provider Noda has joined forces with Tickets Travel Network, a frontrunner in the European online travel market, to facilitate instantaneous open banking payments within the travel industry.

Tickets Travel Network, known for its extensive service across various European locations, including Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, France, and Poland, has now integrated Noda's robust Open Banking platform. This integration facilitates secure and direct account-to-account (A2A) payments, providing a seamless payment experience for travellers. 

With an acceptance rate of around 90% in most of the serviced regions, this collaboration ensures a high throughput of payments, making transactions smoother for millions of travellers. 

Customisation has been at the heart of this partnership, with payment flows tailored to meet the specific needs of the merchant, ensuring an efficient and reliable payment ecosystem. Noda's Open Banking platform enhances the reconciliation process for Tickets Travel Network by providing daily settlements for the previous day's transactions. This T+1 payout initiative significantly accelerates the payment process, allowing Tickets Travel Network to settle with suppliers expeditiously on a daily basis.

This synergy also introduces the option for user refunds or payouts, ensuring satisfaction and trust among travellers should service discrepancies occur.

The capability to accept funds in different accounts across multiple currencies further enhances the operational efficiency of Tickets Travel Network.

Michael Bystrov, Chief Revenue Officer at Noda, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating: "This partnership with Tickets Travel Network not only marks our foray into the travel sector but also sets a precedent in delivering cutting-edge payment solutions. We are thrilled about the positive impacts and the new benchmarks we are setting in the travel industry together."
