We are now introducing SAS Corporate Card

We are now introducing SAS Corporate Card - a combined travel and payment concept SAS Corporate Card is a travel and payment concept for companies and their travellers. The card includes MasterCard, ticketless travel and a travel account for purchasing travel services at the travel agency. SAS Corporate Card is a new and unique, complete solution for companies' business travellers that will simplify travelling and travel administration, as well as lowering the cost of business travel. The launch of SAS Corporate Card in November is aimed at companies operating in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The concept is a wide- ranging and flexible solution for small and medium-sized companies. SAS Corporate Card will support the travel administration process from order to payment, as well as following up travel-related expenses. This means that the corporate customers' direct and indirect costs can be lowered, irrespective of the choice of sales outlet and supplier. The company chooses where it wants to make its travel purchases, either through travel agencies or direct from SAS. Thanks to an integrated travel account and MasterCard, SAS Corporate Card can collect all purchases in one place. This enables the company to receive a single, shared invoice for all purchases. According to independent studies, an invoice costs SEK 300-600 to administer, and so SAS Corporate Card facilitates savings by reducing the number of invoices. SAS Corporate Card offers companies increased control over their travel- related costs by means of detailed and combined statistics covering all purchases, no matter where these purchases were made. The customer can easily retrieve these statistics from the Internet. Through business partners within various sectors, SAS Corporate Card can offer lower prices to its corporate customers. The following business offers are currently included in SAS Corporate Card: Radisson SAS, Scandic Hotels, Statoil, Avis, Hertz, Telia Access and Regus. In addition, SAS offers favourable rates for flights within the framework of Travel Pass Corporate, whose booking and flight function is integrated in SAS Corporate Card. The payment platform is based on UATP. SAS Corporate Card is a multi-function card which includes MasterCard for making payments at more than 20 million places worldwide. The card also operates as a flight ticket for Travel Pass Corporate and electronic tickets, as well as replacing other cards such as existing charge cards, petrol cards, telephone cards and car rental cards. No matter which airline company, train or boat the customer chooses to travel with, SAS Corporate Card operates as a total solution for the company.
