Givex Soars to New Heights with Delta Air Lines and UATP

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Newly integrated with UATP, Givex is now able to provide its platform, including gift cards, to airlines across the world. Givex has just signed major carrier Delta Air Lines to use this platform. The partnership between UATP and Givex expands airlines' offerings to meet customer demand for additional payment options. 

Gift cards, already a $124 billion per year industry, are the preferred gift for today's consumers.  Now airlines will have the capability to redeem gift cards for goods sold onboard the plane, in airport terminals, ancillaries or towards airline tickets themselves.

"UATP recognized that Givex's global presence, dynamic currency conversion capabilities and their ease in working in multiple languages would suit our international client list. We also saw that their expertise in technology and over 15 years of experience would make them a reliable and resourceful partner," said Ralph Kaiser, president and CEO, UATP.

"UATP's expansive Network provides Givex with opportunities to quickly connect with all major airlines for gift cards.  Airlines can drive sales and modernize purchasing methods via Givex products, making buying and gifting their products and services a breeze," said Debbi Blackburn, VP Business Development of Givex.

UATP is the low cost payment network privately owned by the world's airlines. Givex is the expert in gift cards and stored value tickets (as well as loyalty and POS).  Together Givex and UATP can provide airlines with innovations such as gift cards towards airline tickets and ancillaries.
