SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 March 2025 - SUNRATE, the global payment and treasury management platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Atlas, the global travel technology company, at ITB Berlin 2025.

As part of the partnership, SUNRATE will integrate its advanced travel payment solutions with Atlas's ATRIP (Air Travel Retailing and Information Platform).

Revolutionising the Travel Industry with Global Payments and Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) Content

Addressing Cross-Border Payment Challenges

Cross-border payments remain one of the biggest challenges for the global travel distribution industry. Providing flexible, secure, and efficient payment solutions to travel sellers is essential for Atlas, which partners with 150 low-cost airlines and serves clients across the globe.
