GlydePay
Financial Services Partner
Paulina Klotzbucher
CEO, GlydePay
How GlydePay partnered with TravelTools.ai to bring virtual card payments and seamless financial services to South African travel agencies.
The Challenge
Travel agencies in South Africa needed a simple, reliable way to issue virtual cards for supplier payments without going through cumbersome corporate banking processes. Existing solutions were built for large enterprises — not for independent agents.
The Solution
GlydePay partnered with TravelTools.ai to integrate their virtual card issuance directly into the TravelTools.ai back office. Agents attach a Glyde virtual card payment to a quote item, confirm it with a verification code, and pay the supplier without leaving the platform.
Results
- ✦Glyde virtual card payments available to TravelTools.ai agencies that have them switched on
- ✦Supplier payments processed without corporate banking requirements
- ✦Each card payment tied to the quote item it pays for
- ✦Support for the independent travel agent community across South Africa
"We have chosen to partner with TravelTools.ai as we believe in the same values of great customer service, fair pricing, easy to use tools and an ethos of supporting the little guy in an industry that often prioritizes size over substance."
