CellPoint Digital vs Nium for Platforms

CellPoint Digital provides payment orchestration for airlines, hotels, and other travel merchants. Its platform brings payment data together across markets, channels, methods, and providers for reporting and performance analysis. Payment routing can consider issuer, geography, and cost, with local acquirer routing and automatic PSP failover. Other capabilities include fraud decisioning, foreign-exchange optimisation, reconciliation, settlement splits for multi-party Offer-Order bundles, payment links, instalments, and 3-D Secure. The maker describes support for 168+ payment methods, 220+ PSPs and acquirers, 100+ currencies, and over 70 countries. Merchants can integrate by API, hosted payment page, or custom hosted payment page. Hosted checkout collects sensitive details through a CellPoint-hosted form; the API is intended for sites or apps with PCI DSS requirements, while the hosted page can be used in non-PCI-compliant environments. CellPoint says its platform is PCI-DSS certified and compliant with GDPR, PSD2, LGPD, and other regulations. Pricing is on request. The company says it was founded in Copenhagen in 2007 and operates globally from 10 offices.
