Negotiations Capability

During the past few years we have negotiated with all the credit/charge companies, multiple acquirers and processors, not only in Europe, the Far East and Canada, but also extensively in the US.

American Express, Diners Club (Citicorp) and Novus/Discover are headquartered in the USA We have had numerous negotiating meetings with our clients and these companies, and in 80% of all cases achieved savings beyond our client’s expectations.

Furthermore, we have negotiated for and on behalf of our clients with multiple US bankcard acquirers and processors, such as NPC, EDS, Nova Information Systems, Citicorp Merchant Services, Citibank International, Vital Systems and Sabre Merchant Acquiring. This resulted in our clients receiving major savings from our negotiation involvement.


One of our most valuable assets is the benchmark data we have accumulated over a number of years from most of the major airlines worldwide, including certain of the top US airlines; this, combined with the interchange rates and finite credit card costs in over 60 countries provides us with an unparalleled source of information to enable us to benchmark the differential terms and conditions, rates and services around the world.
