Scoot taps Worldpay as exclusive payments provider

The airline has seen payment acceptance rates soar to 90%.

Scoot Tigerair Pte. Ltd. (Scoot) has tapped Worldpay as its exclusive payments provider.

This came as Scoot Pte. Ltd. and Tiger Airways Singapore Pte. Ltd. amalgamated to become one entity under the name Scoot Tigerair Pte. Ltd.

Since partnering with Worldpay, the airline has seen payment acceptance rates soar to 90% across all markets.

With the partnership, the new data analytics capabilities will also see Scoot able to unlock the value of its payments data for the first time, and by selecting Worldpay as its exclusive payments provider, the low cost carrier will also save time and resources by not dealing with multiple suppliers.

"We see Worldpay as the ideal partner to support our aggressive growth plan, and reduce our time-to-market into each new region. Our new Singapore-Athens route launched earlier this month, and with plans to launch five more new destinations in the next 12 months, we need a payments solution to support our global vision. We are delighted that our collaboration with Worldpay has been so successful, with a seamless on-boarding process and continuous support as we launch into new markets," Scoot chief commercial officer Leslie Thng said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
