Elavon Announces Partnership with Virgin Atlantic

Elavon, a global payments leader, will provide a range of payments services for Virgin Atlantic, the company announced. Virgin Atlantic will use Elavon’s global acquiring services, and Multi-Currency Conversion (MCC) – which allows merchants to settle in one of 100 currencies.

Brett Turner, Senior Vice President Global Airline Acquiring, says, “Virgin Atlantic is a well-known and much-admired airline, and we’re excited to be powering its payments to ensure it meets the needs of its customers, and continues to grow globally.”

Elavon has more than 30 years of experience providing payments for airlines, and its strong financial background as a U.S. Bank subsidiary will assist Virgin Atlantic in growing its business. Elavon currently serves eight of the Top 10 airlines globally, and has more than 100 airlines partners.

Virgin Atlantic was recently voted the best long-haul airline by Travel Weekly and currently flies from the UK to 34 destinations in North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Keli Sandeman, Manager, Payment Strategy at Virgin Atlantic, says, “Elavon’s expertise with global airlines, its dedicated airlines team, and its ability to work rapidly to form bespoke solutions makes it a shrewd choice for Virgin Atlantic to partner with on our payments needs.”
