7 August 2008 – SkyEurope Airlines, the leading low-cost airline in Central Europe, has introduced a new revolutionary payment channel for its guests. Starting from the 1st of August SkyEurope’s flights can also be purchased via cash pre-paid paysafecard, which represents an easy and safe way of online payment with no need of bank account or entering a guests’ debit or credit card number.
The pre-paid paysafecard with a wide range of credit values can be purchased through more than hundred thousand distributors Europe-wide. paysafecard can be used for payments for any of SkyEurope’s services and products throughout the airline’s network and opens another dimension of on-line shopping to many new guests.
“Our goal is to offer variety of fast and safe payment channels to our clients,” says Steven Greenway, Chief Commercial Office of SkyEurope Airlines and adds: “Some passengers do not have access to debit or credit cards that can be used for electronic payments or they simply do not want to send their card number over the internet. We believe that by introducing the possibility to pay through paysafecard we will provide access to a greater spectrum of customer segments and provide more choice by providing a payment method that avoids paying additional credit card fees.
paysafecard pre-paid card system is currently being used in 10 European countries. paysafecard cards are equipped with printed PIN code to be used instead of credit or debit card number during the on-line payment. paysafecard cards are available through 105.000 distributors and can be used for payments in more than 2.500 internet stores in Europe with no transaction fees or risk of any personal or sensitive data misuse.
“We are excited to announce our first co-operation with an airline company. SkyEurope is once more a true pioneer, when it comes to best-in-class customer service and safe e-commerce,” adds Michael Müller, CEO of paysafecard.
