What Customers Say About Apiso
“This solution has been extremely helpful to our company during a challenging year for the travel industry. We have offices across the region and our collective bank guarantee costs were very large. The success of the Amadeus B2B Wallet has given us good incentive to continue to invest in our payments strategy. We plan to reduce bank guarantees by 50% in the next year. Wherever we have an option to use virtual cards to maximise our revenues, we will do so,”– Mr Nitin Menon Dadabhai’s Executive Director.
“Thanks to Apiso our company is gaining more ROI per frontline staff member, helping us to de-risk exposure with existing & new suppliers plus helping to release more working capital into our business. We would highly recommend Apiso to any travel agency in the region.” – Mr. Daniel Ponzo (MD) Zahid Travel Group.
“Without a doubt the best of breed VCN provider in MENA region. Apiso has given us all the right currencies underpinned with fast funding channels helping our business to remain ahead of the curve. With quick turnaround times and exemplary levels of service what’s there not to like about Apiso?” – Mr. Bader Al-Bader (CEO) Rehlat"
“Apsio’s partnership with Technoheaven (our 3rd party tech provider) is exactly what we needed to ensure a smooth and seamless payment experience to our key supply channels using VCNs in key GCC currencies. Apiso’s uniqueness in providing VCNs in all main GCC currencies coupled with key partnerships will continue to set them apart from their immediate competitors.”
