Minor Hotels integrates AI-driven payments with Checkout.com

The partnership integrates Checkout.com’s Intelligent Acceptance engine, an AI-driven system designed to boost transaction success rates by maximizing first-attempt approvals and minimizing failures. Beyond transaction performance, the implementation includes Dynamic 3DS Authentication, which adjusts security protocols based on issuer preferences and local regulatory requirements. This dual approach is intended to reduce friction for guests while navigating the complex payment flows inherent in international hospitality.

Anthony Green, Global Head of Digital Marketing and Ecommerce at Minor Hotels, noted that the group requires a flexible, reliable infrastructure to support its continued expansion. By simplifying these back-end processes, the company aims to establish a stronger foundation for its next phase of growth. Yao Xiang, Head of Commercial for Greater China and Southeast Asia at Checkout.com, added that the collaboration focuses on providing a secure and seamless experience that addresses the challenges of operating across diverse markets and currencies.
