UATP has partnered with corporate payments provider Wex to provide UATP clients a one-time use virtual card solution for hotel and car rental.

Delta Air Lines is projected to become UATP’s launch issuer later this year. “We’ll be able to connect through our partner with hotel and car rental so the whole trip can be put on UATP,” vice president of marketing and communications Wendy Ward told BTN. In April, Wex expanded its virtual payment offering to 11 currencies for its European customers. UATP also is exploring ways to process onboard purchases, such as gift cards or providing users images of the virtual cards, Ward said. "We're trying to really expand the use of the network, and onboard [purchases] is one that's come up. We're not there yet, but we're thinking about it," she said. “We’ll never be a traditional walking card, but if it has something to do with travel, we want to explore it.”
