Discover Virtual Cards | Fyorin

The travel industry faces a unique challenge. Commercial airlines routinely apply card processing surcharges that, over time, significantly impact their bottom line, while traditional corporate card solutions come with frustrating delays and limited acceptance.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our collaboration with Discover to provide new Fyorin's Discover Cards: a virtual card solution designed specifically for the travel industry, that eliminates airline surcharges while providing instant issuance, wide acceptance, superior control, and valuable cash back rewards.

Eliminate Airline Surcharges and Earn Cash Back

One of the most frustrating aspects of air travel payments is the card processing fees applied by commercial airlines, especially the low cost ones, which, over time, can erode the bottom line. Fyorin's Discover Cards are designed to eliminate these surcharges entirely, while also helping you generate additional revenue through cashback rewards on every transaction. That way you can turn necessary expenses into a source of earnings.

Wide Acceptance

It’s not uncommon for commercial airlines, especially low cost carriers, to block transactions made with corporate cards, especially during high season. The agreement between Discover and multiple well-known commercial airlines such as KLM, Lufthansa and many others, ensures that the virtual card will be accepted at any time. With the guaranteed, wide-acceptance, business operations can run uninterrupted, ensuring timely customer service and consistent cash flow.

Instant Issuance and Remote Management

The traditional corporate card issuance process through banks involves a lot of admin, paperwork and can take weeks. In the travel industry, where new cards are often required instantly to ensure uninterrupted business operations, this is an unacceptable delay. With Fyorin Discover Cards, you can issue virtual cards instantly through our developer friendly API or our secure online portal. Our cards can also be accessed directly from your preferred GDS platform. Cards can be created, managed, and controlled remotely from a single platform, giving you unparalleled flexibility to respond to your business needs in real-time.

Customisable Spending Controls

Getting better oversight and control of expenses is what a lot of businesses strive for in an effort to enhance governance and cut costs. Our Discover Cards solution puts you firmly in control with usage controls and merchant locked cards, all of which can be adjusted instantly from our intuitive platform. This gives you flexibility to customise the cards to business needs such as locking them for specific airlines or hotels, while maintaining strict oversight of all expenditures. Furthermore, our platform enables you to combine the benefits of a prepaid card model with a debit allowance so that you never experience a decline for a small conversion variance on your bookings.

Real-Time Visibility and Reporting

Tracking travel expenses across multiple cards and departments has traditionally been a time-consuming process. Our platform provides comprehensive real-time reporting on all card transactions, allowing you to monitor spending patterns, identify savings opportunities, and make data-driven decisions about your budget allocation. Beyond detailed reporting we offer industry tailored payables report that extend to supplementary data points that we obtain directly through the scheme network merchants’ data, such as for example PNR, passenger name, and airport codes for travel related merchants, and shipping port codes, tax data, freight details and duty amount for shipping and transportation.

Enhanced Security for Peace of Mind

Security concerns are paramount when managing virtual cards for travel bookings. Fyorin Discover Cards feature advanced security protocols, including one-time use options, merchant-specific locks, and instant freeze capabilities if suspicious activity is detected. Our comprehensive fraud monitoring system works around the clock to protect your company funds.
