DBS to launch IATA Pay in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore

Airlines can access up to US$20b in savings from payment processing fees.

DBS has partnered with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to launch IATA Pay in Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore.

IATA Pay, which is currently active in more than 20 markets, enables travellers to pay for air tickets purchased online by directly debiting their bank account. In turn, airlines can access up to US$20b in cost savings every year from payment processing fees.

DBS will enable participating airlines to collect payments through a generated Dynamic QR code. DBS Max then enables IATA to receive real-time confirmation of payment when enabling customers to scan and pay from their bank accounts. This is expected to help facilitate easy reconciliation with end-of-day reports.

The solution will be rolled out to Hong Kong in 2022 with roll-outs in Indonesia and Singapore following in 2023.

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.
