eNett Virtual Account Number (VAN)

eNett VAN (Virtual Account Number) is a payment solution that automatically generates a MasterCard account number to facilitate payments to travel suppliers.

VANs are available to IATA and non-IATA agents, and are a secure and widely accepted means of paying suppliers. Each VAN is a 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.

Note:  Each agency must sign up for a eNett VAN account and credit money to their account. Only agencies in eNett-supported countries with an active account are able to use the eNett VAN service.
