Hopper, this time with Commonwealth Bank, the #1 financial
institution and credit card issuer in Australia. Hopper continues
to demonstrate the ability to syndicate its innovative travel
fintech products and inventory, through Hopper Cloud, to some of
the world’s leading travel platforms and financial institutions”,
