Amex Launches American Express Gold Preferred Card
Sumitomo Mitsui Card has reached a basic agreement in a strategic partnership with Hopper (HTS / Hopper Technology Solutions). They plan to start a travel booking service in the spring of 2025.
Hopper is a Canadian online travel agency founded in 2007. In the United States, the app has been downloaded over 120 million times and provides travel services to major financial institutions worldwide.
As the first non-financial service of the comprehensive personal financial service “Olive,” around spring 2025, Sumitomo Mitsui Card plans to launch a travel portal site targeting mainly its credit card members.
By combining Hopper’s big data on customer behavior and purchasing, along with the customer base of the SMBC Group, both parties aim to provide innovative travel services never seen before. The service will offer personalized travel destinations and hotel offers, distribution of necessary travel information before and after the trip, and a function to add V points on savings for travels planned through the travel portal site.
