The partnership between Payrexx and the Swiss travel fund (Reka) supports Swiss Comerciante:s in the areas of leisure, holidays and mobility to make their payment processes even more flexible and user-friendly. Payment with the Reka card in online shops is also made simpler and more attractive due to the wider acceptance for end customers.

New market opportunities thanks to Reka acceptance

Reka money is a popular means of payment for holidays, catering, mobility and leisure, accepted throughout Switzerland, and is divided into three industry-specific types of money. While Reka-Pay can be used for various holiday and leisure offers, Reka-Lunch can be used to pay in restaurants, take-aways, bakeries and other catering establishments. Reka-Rail, in turn, can be used for numerous public transport offers, such as subscriptions or mountain railway tickets.

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

“Working with professionals is always fun. We found a competent partner in Payrexx and the project implementation was speedy and successful. We are convinced that this solution opens up additional market opportunities for us in the area 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 excited 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 wider range of payment options but also opens up new market opportunities. This expansion means that our Comerciante:s have the opportunity to address additional customer segments and increase comfort and flexibility in the payment process for end users. The rapid and successful implementation of this integration underscores our commitment to innovation and customer-oriented solutions. We are convinced that this partnership brings significant benefits to our Comerciante:s and their customers.”

– Ivan Schmid, Founder and CEO of Payrexx AG.
