CROSSROADS Maldives, the renowned multi-island leisure destination, has launched HotelPay, a new payment gateway designed to enhance the travel experience for Russian and CIS visitors. This innovative system allows guests to easily book and pay for stays in Russian Rubles, either online or on-site, at SO/ Maldives, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, and SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton.
Addressing Payment Challenges
The introduction of HotelPay responds to the growing demand for cashless and localized payment options at CROSSROADS Maldives. It tackles the challenges faced by international payment restrictions, including issues with local card limitations and cash handling complexities. With this update, the payment process becomes secure, seamless, and efficient for guests.
