Hands In-UATP Partnership Empowers Airlines to Split Payments, Recover Declined Transactions
Hands In and UATP partnered to embed Hands In’s split payments API into UATP’s Ceptor platform, letting airlines combine cards, payers and payment methods within existing systems. The feature helps recover declined transactions, boost approval rates and increase ancillary revenue on high-value flight bookings.
1. Partnership Overview
Hands In and UATP have launched a strategic collaboration embedding Hands In’s proprietary split payments API into the Ceptor platform. This integration allows airlines to process payments combining multiple cards, payers and methods without altering existing payment infrastructures.
2. Benefits for Airlines
The split payments feature aims to recover transactions declined for insufficient funds or card limits, boost payment approval rates and drive ancillary revenue growth on higher-value bookings. Airlines can offer greater financial flexibility and transparency at checkout.
3. Potential Impact on United Airlines
As a UATP account issuer, United Airlines can leverage the Ceptor integration to modernize its checkout flow, potentially reducing declined transactions and increasing ticket sales conversion and ancillary spend without additional development.
