Sydney, 6 September 2021: itravel has added Mint’s newest product, MintEFT, as part of their offering. This builds on the existing relationship between itravel and Mint for credit card processing, and will provide greater payments capabilities for itravel’s network.

itravel Managing Director, Steve Lebroski, said, “We have had a strong and close relationship with Mint for several years. They are a leading financial provider in the travel industry who have a great range of products, and their support and commitment to travel agents has been excellent. When it came to selecting an EFT provider, it was the strength of the MintEFT product, as well as their very competitive pricing structure that means that Mint is the perfect fit for our business.

It’s an online and mobile application so ideal for our mobile travel agents who can view their transactions on their phones. A real bonus to itravel is MintEFT real-time, where settlement clearance is within seconds for those last-minute bookings.”

When discussing the features that itravel feels will be of particular benefit to their network, Lebroski commented,The MintEFT system integrates beautifully with our booking - payment - travel systems and frees up our agents to do what they do best – create memorable holidays for travelers. The most beneficial feature for itravel is the ability to use real-time payments. I believe many bookings post-COVID will be made spontaneously, and we need the ability to process faster than ever before.”

Mint CEO, Alex Teoh said: “We are very excited and humbled with strengthening our long-term partnership with itravel. Facilitating payments from within the workflow increases efficiency, enabling agents to spend less time processing payments, and more time with customers. We are pleased to be able to help make supplier payments simple and easy for itravel’s network and look forward to further supporting them with new payment methods for the future.”
