Cooperation Talks Held Between TÜROB and TKPAY

TÜROB President Müberra Eresin held an online meeting with Mustafa Ekmen, General Manager of THY E-Para ve Ödeme A.Ş., the company to which TKPAY, the digital wallet developed by THY, is affiliated. 

The meeting, also attended by TÜROB Secretary General İsmail Taşdemir and THY E-Para ve Ödeme A.Ş. officials Zahid Özdoğan, Ercan Demirtaş and Solen Nazlı Turanlı Erciş, evaluated potential areas of cooperation between hotels and THYPAY. The meeting also emphasized that online digital and card-based payment systems are gaining ever greater importance in the tourism sector.

It was noted that the share of card payments within all payments has reached 56 percent, while digital wallets have rapidly acquired a 22 percent share, and that these figures continue to rise each day. It was stated that these developments further increase hotels' need for fast, secure and user-friendly payment solutions from all over the world.

TKPAY is a next-generation digital wallet and payment system developed by Turkish Airlines (THY) for its Miles&Smiles members, offering the ability to convert miles into cash, free money transfers 24/7, and fast payment via QR code. Integrated into the THY mobile app, this system provides advantageous spending and cashback opportunities on flight ticket purchases and at partner brands and venues.
