Soneva Accepts Cryptocurrency Payments
Luxury resort chain Soneva has reportedly begun accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum payments at its resorts.
Soneva has three resorts in the Maldives (Soneva Fushi, Soneva Jani, and Soneva Inn Aqua). The company also has a resort in Thailand (Soneva Kiri). Bitcoin and ether can also be used to pay for Soneva Villa Ownership.
To accept cryptocurrencies, Soneva has partnered with two companies: crypto payment solution provider Triple A and payment platform provider Pomelo Pay. Triple A is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
Soneva explained that Bitcoin and Ether payments are 100% non-refundable, but credits can be applied according to a flexible cancellation policy. The company’s terms and conditions detail that cryptocurrencies are processed through a third party with its own terms and conditions. Soneva’s website states that “Soneva accepts cryptocurrency and refunds it if necessary, excluding the USD value at the moment of the transaction and any additional fees from third parties.”
Bruce Bromley, Soneva’s Chief Financial Officer, notes, “Soneva is committed to providing the highest quality service.” At Soneva, we have always strived to be a pioneer in the hospitality industry.” He added,
