Commenting on the partnership, Travelstart head of global partnerships Odette Faling said, “Pep is helping us reach customers that prefer to pay for goods and services in-store. This is part of our strategy to increase access to air travel for all South Africans including those who don’t have credit cards. Strategic partnerships are key to our customer experience and service delivery efforts and working with a strong partner like Pep makes sense.”

How it works
