Airlines Aim To Cut Credit Card Fraud Costs,
by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
On September 24, the International Air Transport Association announced the
launch of two new services to help airlines reduce costs and manage risk associated with credit card operations.
Firstly IATA has launched its ‘CreditCard Optimisation Service’.
The service will reduce commission rates and service charges, improve speed
and method of payment and create a single point of contract for all credit card
negotiations. The negotiations will be based on complete audit of all credit
card contracts of a participating airline and the results will be benchmarked
against a proprietary database to identify gaps. New agreements will then be
negotiated with banks to bring greater savings. This service is being offered
in cooperation with CreditCard Optimisation Ltd.
The second service called IATA Perseuss is an online database, which allows
airlines to legally share data about fraudulent credit card transactions. Payment
card fraud is estimated to cost the airline industry close to USD1.4bn annually.
IATA says that identifying fraudulent transactions is critical to driving down costs. Currently, some 40 airlines are using
the service and already contributed over 800,000 data elements.
The Association noted that the two services are particularly relevant as they
will help bring about cost reductions whilst increasing efficiencies, an area
under particular scrutiny as the airline industry faces an estimated loss of
USD27.8bn this year.
The Lowtax Library
hosts the web's best-known US and international tax news service
costing just $20 per month. Alongside topical, daily news, you can receive
weekly newswires on
a wide range of subjects.
