The AVA Foundation has partnered with Transak, a leading fiat on-ramp solution provider, to make AVA available for purchase on Travala.com using credit and debit cards, bank transfer and other fiat payment methods in over 160 countries.
The integration offers a quick and secure way to buy AVA, which can be used to seamlessly upgrade AVA Smart Program memberships to receive upsized perks and get up to an additional 3% discount on travel when booking with AVA in full on Travala.com.
Transak has been offering fiat onboarding solutions since 2019 and now powers fiat-to-crypto conversions in over 350 apps, including MetaMask, Ledger and Trust Wallet. The company sources liquidity from multiple exchanges, providing a highly competitive conversion rate. As a registered crypto asset business, the company follows strict anti-money laundering processes to maintain a low fraud rate.
To purchase AVA on Travala.com, users can navigate to My Wallet in their account on the desktop or mobile site, click the new ‘Buy AVA’ tab, enter the amount of AVA they wish to purchase, and select the fiat payment method. Supported payment methods include credit and debit cards, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App and other third-party apps.
Users will then need to complete a quick, one-off Know Your Customer (KYC) check via Transak’s portal before finalising the transaction. Once the payment is processed, the purchased AVA will be credited to the user’s account wallet on Travala.com.
“Transak enables the AVA Foundation to establish greater convenience for new and existing AVA token users on partner platforms like Travala.com. This integration expands the token’s availability to significantly simplify access to the perks offered by using AVA within the AVA Smart Program and beyond,” said Steve Hipwell, Lead Contributor at AVA Foundation.
“We are happy to support the AVA Foundation and Travala.com in their mission to simplify access to AVA on Travala.com. We are looking forward to fostering the growth of Web3 among travelers and are committed to continuously streamlining their access to digital assets,” said Yeshu Agarwal, CTO at Transak.
