The partnership between Payrexx and Schweizer Reisekasse (Reka) supports Swiss Merchants in the areas of leisure, holidays, and mobility, making their payment processes even more flexible and user-friendly. Paying with the Reka-Card in online shops is made easier and more attractive due to its broader acceptance for end customers.

New Market Opportunities Thanks to Reka Acceptance

Reka money is a popular payment method throughout Switzerland for holidays, meals, mobility, and leisure, and is divided into three industry-specific types of money. While Reka-Pay can be used for various holiday and leisure offerings, Reka-Lunch can be used at restaurants, take-aways, bakeries, and other food service providers. Reka-Rail, on the other hand, can be used for numerous public transportation 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 Payrexx Swiss Collecting payment provider, Payrexx Merchants can now also benefit.

“Working with professionals is always fun. We have found a competent partner in Payrexx, and the project implementation was swift and successful. We are convinced that this solution will open 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:

“At Payrexx, we are thrilled with our partnership with Reka, which further strengthens our position as the leading SMB payment platform in Switzerland. The integration of Reka payment methods like Reka-Pay, Reka-Lunch, and Reka-Rail into Payrexx Swiss Collecting not only offers our customers a greater choice of payment options but also opens up new market opportunities. This expansion allows our Merchants to address additional customer segments and enhance convenience and flexibility in the payment process for end customers. The quick and successful implementation of this integration underscores our commitment to innovation and customer-oriented solutions. We are convinced that this partnership will bring significant benefits to our Merchants and their customers.”

– Ivan Schmid, Founder and CEO of Payrexx AG.
