WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- UATP, the global network enabling organizations to simplify payment processes and expand their payment capabilities, today announced a strategic partnership with Burbank, a pioneer in next-generation payments technology behind the world's first Card-Present over Internet (CPoI®) technology. Through this partnership, UATP will offer the CPoI® solution to airline merchants to securely process card-present transactions in online channels.

UATP is a global payment solution owned and operated by the world's airlines and accepted by thousands of merchants for air, rail and travel agency payments. UATP connects airlines to Alternative Forms of Payment which can expand reach and generate incremental sales globally. UATP offers easy-to-use data tools, DataStream(SM) and DataMine(SM), which provide comprehensive account details to Issuers and Corporate Subscribers for accurate travel management. UATP is accepted as a form of payment for corporate business travel worldwide by airlines, travel agencies and Amtrak; UATP accounts are issued by: Aeromexico, APG Airlines, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Air Niugini, American Airlines, Austrian Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Delta Air Lines, EL AL Israel Airlines, Etihad Airways, Frontier Airlines, GOL Linhas aereas inteligentes S.A., Hahn Air; Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas Airways, Shandong Airlines, Transavia Airlines, TUIfly GmbH, Turkish Airline, United Airlines, and WestJet.

Online merchants face significant payment processing challenges, experiencing more than $40 billion annually in fraud and chargebacks. Payment fraud is growing at an alarming rate of 69% per year, with chargebacks increasing by 52%. Even more costly are false positives, where legitimate transactions are incorrectly flagged as fraud, costing merchants $443 billion per year with 65% of blocked transactions being false positives.

Burbank's CPoI® technology directly addresses these issues by turning every mobile phone into POS devices, significantly reducing fraud and improving authorization rates, typically 5-10% higher with card present than card-not-present transactions. Beyond preventing fraud, CPoI® creates new revenue opportunities for merchants by eliminating false positives.

"This partnership reflects UATP's commitment to working with leading payment innovators to meet the evolving needs of our Merchants" said UATP President and CEO, Ralph Kaiser. "By combining our payment processing expertise with Burbank's groundbreaking CPoI® technology, we are delivering a solution that meets today's market demands while creating significant cost savings and revenue opportunities for Merchants."

With CPoI®, online shoppers simply tap their payment card against their own mobile device and securely enter their PIN to complete payment, just as they do in-store. The physical card and PIN confirm the true cardholder's identity, significantly reducing the opportunity for fraud. The transaction is then processed as a traditional card present transaction for the merchant. This approach provides customers with the highest level of protection when shopping online while making the experience as familiar and trusted as in-store payments.

The UATP-Burbank partnership, which will initially focus on airlines, will provide enormous benefits to merchants across any vertical in four key areas: 

  • Shifts Liability: Since transactions qualify as card present, liability remains with issuers and does not shift to the merchant.
  • Reduces Processing Costs: Removes scheme fees, reduces chargeback and chargeback servicing costs and eliminates orchestration for CNP transactions.
  • Minimizes Fraud Costs: Reduces the need for anti-fraud AI systems, 3DS, and fraud models that are typically used with CNP payments.
  • Lowers Total Costs and Reputational Risk: Fewer chargebacks processed, lower costs and lower reputational risk as these transactions become the trusted standard for merchants and consumers.

"Through CPoI®, we're synchronizing in-store security capabilities with digital payment systems. Our goal is to transform online commerce by drastically minimizing fraud and eliminating false positive, challenges consistently hurting businesses' revenue," stated Justin Pike, CEO of Burbank. "CPoI® will expand online shopping accessibility to a broader customer base, providing superior transaction protection while enhancing merchant fraud prevention standards."
