The partnership of Payrexx with the Swiss Travel Fund (Reka) supports Swiss merchants in the areas of leisure, vacations, and mobility to make their payment processes even more flexible and user-friendly. Paying with the Reka-Card in online shops is also easier and more attractive for end customers due to wider acceptance.

New market opportunities thanks to Reka acceptance

Reka money is a popular payment method accepted throughout Switzerland for vacations, catering, mobility, and leisure and is divided into three industry-specific types of money. While Reka-Pay can be used for a variety of vacation and leisure offers, Reka-Lunch can be used in restaurants, take-aways, bakeries, and other catering establishments. Reka-Rail can, in turn, be used for numerous public transport offers, such as subscriptions or cable car tickets.

Over 600 million Reka francs are spent annually in Switzerland. Thanks to the seamless integration of the Reka payment methods in the payment provider Payrexx Swiss Collecting, Payrexx merchants can now also benefit from this.

“Working with professionals is always fun. We found a competent partner in Payrexx, and the project implementation was efficient and successful. We are convinced that this solution opens up additional market opportunities for us in the field of online payment solutions with Reka payment methods.”

– Renato Belli, Head of Issuing & Acquiring at Reka.

Payrexx is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration:

“We at Payrexx are thrilled about our partnership with Reka, which further strengthens our position as the leading SME payment platform in Switzerland. The integration of Reka payment methods such as Reka-Pay, Reka-Lunch, and Reka-Rail into Payrexx Swiss Collecting not only offers our customers a greater selection of payment options but also opens up new market opportunities. This expansion means our merchants can address additional customer segments and increase convenience and flexibility in the payment process for end customers. The swift and successful implementation of this integration underscores our commitment to innovation and customer-oriented solutions. We are convinced that this partnership brings significant benefits for our merchants and their customers.”

– Ivan Schmid, founder and CEO of Payrexx AG.
