VANs are available to IATA and non-IATA agents, and are a secure and widely
accepted means of paying suppliers, whether they are around the corner or across
the globe.
Each VAN is a one-time use, 16-digit virtual MasterCard that can be issued as a
payment (FOP) to any supplier that accepts MasterCard. A unique number is
automatically generated for each new transaction.
All customers on Galileo Desktop (Focalpoint), Travelport Smartpoint on Apollo and
Galileo (Version 3.0 and above) and Travelport Smartpoint on Worldspan Go!
(Version 5.3 and above) will see the eNett VAN as a new FOP entry on all payment
dropdown menus.
