SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE [2])–Cvent [3], an industry-leading
meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, and FreedomPay
[4], an innovative leader in Next Level Commerce™ technologies shared 
details of their latest integration and payment card tokenization
initiative at Cvent CONNECT [5], Cvent’s user and industry
conference is taking place now in San Antonio, TX, and online.  

 The integration between Cvent Passkey and FreedomPay enables direct
tokenization of credit cards, which allows for credit card numbers to be

solutions, we understand the unique needs of hospitality and travel
industries,” said Nate Ware, SVP of Sales & Digital Development at
FreedomPay. “Today’s buyers and suppliers want greater security,
personalization and efficiency, and we’re proud to partner with a
leading global organization like Cvent, which shares in our commitment
to ensure each of those areas is not only addressed but prioritized.
Our combined focus on innovation and dedication to data security
represents the future of hospitality and group business.”  

 “The integration between Cvent Passkey and FreedomPay is another
example of how we continue to expand our integrations and prioritize
security for hoteliers, event organizers, and their group guests,”
said Ben Mayrides, Chief Information Security Officer at Cvent. “By
tokenizing credit cards, we are protecting sensitive data, reducing the
risk of fraud and data breaches while providing an improved payment
experience. It’s exciting to see leading hotel chains embrace
technology to enhance the group booking process, and with additional
properties and chains in the implementation pipeline, we’re rapidly
expanding direct access to a more secure group reservation and payment
environment.”
