"Globe Business really is a great partner for us."
Taps Globe Business for Globe Charge to enable payments via credit card
2GO Travel is the first shipping-passenger brand in the Philippines that completely changed the sea travel experience. With excellent customer service, upscale hotel passenger suites, comfortable accommodation, entertainment, and cruise-like amenities, 2GO Travel provided the traveling public with a unique and very affordable way to travel around the Philippines.
2GO Travel also expanded the travel routes not only by sea but also by land, connecting major cities around the Philippines via bus connections, making the travel experience more hassle-free. Moreover, the brand also pioneered the first prepaid travel card that can be purchased as the perfect travel gift to popular tourist destinations around the Philippines. With its commitment to take land and sea travel to the next level, 2Go Travel has clearly helped boost domestic tourism by making travel comfortable and fun and providing cruise packages for families, friends, or corporate groups, complete with an all-in cruise, hotel, and tour itinerary in one affordable package.
In order to further its growth with more payment options available to its customers, 2Go Travel partnered with Globe Business, the enterprise ICT arm of Globe Telecom, to acquire Globe Charge, an innovative solution that transforms mobile phones into point-of-sale (POS) card terminals that accept debit and credit card payments. Globe Charge harnesses the integration of a smartphone and an innovative mobile card reader into a mobile point-of-sale (POS) unit, empowering enterprise and SME customers with a convenient payment device and eliminating the need for traditional and more expensive card terminals.
With Globe Charge, 2Go Travel can now accept credit card payments from its customers, further growing its customer base, increasing its revenues, and sustaining its position in the market as an innovative company that constantly seeks to provide efficient and hassle-free service.
“Globe Business really is a great partner for us,” Stephen Tagud, Senior Vice President for 2Go Travel, said. “We want to make traveling as smooth as possible for our customers, and with Globe Charge, this makes payment options much easier and more accessible for a lot of them.”
Mike Frausing, Globe Business’ Senior Advisor for Enterprise and IT Enabled Services Group, shared, “We are thankful to 2Go Travel for the trust and confidence they have given us in enabling their sustained growth as they expand their payment capabilities through Globe Charge. As the leading ICT enabler in the Philippines, Globe Business provides customers with the right technology, infrastructure, and know-how to help them focus on their business.”
