The two-day event gathered key stakeholders from the hospitality sector to discuss sustainable growth strategies driven by technology, strategic alliances, and global best practices.

It supports a broad range of card schemes—including Verve, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, China UnionPay, Discover, Diners Club, and Japan Credit Bureau—and facilitates USD settlements for foreign transactions, simplifying international guest payments. The device also incorporates a card-not-present feature, enabling secure remote payments such as pre-arrival deposits and incidental charges.
The company also demonstrated its Interswitch Payment Gateway, a seamless online payment platform that allows hotels to accept bookings securely from major international cards like American Express, Mastercard, and Visa. Designed for effortless integration, the gateway supports USD settlement, empowering hospitality providers to serve a global clientele efficiently.
Additionally, Interswitch introduced its bulk disbursement platform, streamlining payments to vendors, staff, and service providers with minimal manual intervention, ensuring timely and reliable transactions.
