Founded in 2009, GetYourGuide links travellers worldwide with its travel experiences marketplace.

To date, travellers in over 170 countries have booked more than 30 million tours, activities and sightseeing tickets using GetYourGuide.

The alliance will allow GetYourGuide to leverage Wirecard’s Supplier and Commission Payments (SCP) service to pay attractions and experience providers.

Wirecard also issued virtual credit cards for quick B2B payments.

In addition, each transaction will be mapped to the related booking details to automate payment reconciliation and improve accounting practices.

GetYourGuide CFO Nils Chrestin said: “GetYourGuide is on a mission to seamlessly connect travellers around the world with the best local experiences.

“Smooth and reliable payments between GetYourGuide and our business partners are crucial for delivering on that mission.

“Wirecard will help us to continue to ensure these transactions are processed as quickly and flexibly as possible and that our financial platform scales in pace with our business.”

Earlier this month, Wirecard partnered with Orange Bank to facilitate the latter’s launch of Google Pay for Android users.

The partnership was soon followed by a collaboration with IKEA to allow instalment payments for in-store purchases in Malaysia.  Wirecard previously introduced in-store and online instalment plans in Germany.
