DALLAS, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ACTIVE
Network®, the premier global marketplace for activities
and events and an industry-leading provider of intelligence
solutions, today announced a multi-year strategic alliance with
Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) to offer Visa Checkout, the easier way to use a
Visa card online, as a payment option across its activity and event
registration platforms globally. The multi-year agreement also
includes both ACTIVE and Visa investing in a series of digital,
cross-promotional marketing activities to be executed throughout
the term of the agreement.
"We are thrilled to partner with ACTIVE Network, whose customers
organize activities and events across the globe," said Sam Shrauger, senior vice president, digital

Upon implementation of the program this summer, ACTIVE will
provide Visa Checkout as a payment option for anyone who registers
for an activity or event through ACTIVE.com® and its
mobile app, in addition to any in-app purchases. Recently reaching
more than 20 million accounts, Visa Checkout enables millions of
consumers to pay in just a few clicks on any device around the web
with some of the world's top merchants. Visa Checkout will soon be
available to consumers registering for activities across ACTIVE's
online and mobile properties within the
United States, Canada,
Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
"This unique relationship between ACTIVE and Visa is not only
mutually beneficial for our two companies, it's a win for our
customers as well as for consumers seeking both convenience and
security when registering for activities and events," said
Greg Ingino, chief information
officer for ACTIVE Network. "We're consistently working to
integrate new solutions into our technology suite that benefit our
customers. By adding Visa Checkout, we're making it easier for
people to register for and participate in our customers' events and
