“Can a travel-focused payment orchestration layer become the full embedded financial infrastructure for global airlines and travel merchants?”
CellPoint Digital started as a payment orchestration platform (branded 'Velocity') targeting high-volume travel and airline merchants. Over time it expanded beyond pure routing into embedded finance services — offering FX optimisation, dynamic currency conversion, multi-currency pricing, BaaS-adjacent capabilities (branded accounts, virtual cards, instant payouts), and 400+ alternative payment methods. The company now positions itself as a full payment ecosystem for travel merchants rather than a standalone gateway router.
Cellpoint processes payments through Apple Pay (digital wallet), Google Pay (digital wallet), PayPal (digital wallet), SEPA (regional), Pago (regional) and Dragonpay (regional).
Cellpoint uses CellPoint Digital FX Optimisation (self-operated) for FX and cross-border payouts.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Cellpoint's stack: Payments / PSP (Apple Pay (digital wallet), Google Pay (digital wallet), PayPal (digital wallet), SEPA (regional) and 2 others); Card network (JCB and UnionPay); FX & payouts (CellPoint Digital FX Optimisation (self-operated)).
Cellpoint is headquartered in Unknown.
