Zetexa pitches white-label mobile and travel services to Asian banks and airlines

Zetexa Global used ITB Asia 2026 in Singapore to court OTAs, airlines, banks and fintechs with a one-API platform for travel eSIMs, monthly mobile plans and airport services. The pitch is aimed at helping partners keep travelers inside their own apps before, during and after a trip while creating recurring revenue.

Why it matters: - Zetexa is pushing travel brands to turn connectivity into a customer-retention tool, not just a one-time add-on. - The model lets banks, airlines and OTAs keep travelers in their own apps after booking, during the trip and on future trips. - Zetexa also wants partners to sell monthly mobile plans, which can create recurring revenue instead of a single trip margin.

What happened: - Zetexa Global attended ITB Asia 2026 in Singapore from Oct. 21 to 23. - The company met OTAs, airlines, banks and fintechs from across Asia. - Zetexa used the event to promote a white-label platform for travel eSIMs, mobile plans and airport services. - The platform lets partners sell under their own brand through one API.

The details: - Zetexa says its platform supports travel eSIMs for 200+ countries and more than 2 million eSIMs sold to date. - The catalogue includes 3,800+ eSIM plans with validity from 1 to 365 days. - Plans are available as data-only or as data with voice and SMS. - The same API also covers lounge access, fast track, meet and greet, car rentals, transfers and insurance. - Lounge access spans 2,168 plans at 760 airports in 143 countries, with prices from US$9.54 to US$232.19. - Meet and greet is available at 110 airports in 38 countries. - Fast track is available at 139 airports in 36 countries, starting at US$5.98. - Dining vouchers are available at 91 airports. - VIP airport services are available at 28 airports, with premium offerings reaching US$1,705.38. - Zetexa says the API can go live in two to four weeks. - The platform is GDPR-compliant and VAPT-tested. - Zetexa also offers an SDK, booking widget, white-label microsite, WhatsApp bot and reseller portal.

Between the lines: - Zetexa is positioning connectivity as a way for travel brands to stay relevant after booking, when travelers land and need mobile data immediately. - The company is also targeting banks, fintechs and super-apps that have not yet built travel connectivity into their customer journeys. - Roland Berger expects super-apps, fintechs, online travel agencies and airlines to account for about 45% of global travel eSIM activations by 2030. - Zetexa’s pitch is broader than eSIM distribution because it includes monthly mobile plans through its own MVNO, Unlimit Mobile. - That matters for customers who move, study or work abroad and may keep paying through the same partner app every month.

What's next: - Zetexa’s partnerships team is following up with companies it met in Singapore. - Businesses that missed the team at ITB Asia can request a meeting at partnerships@zetexa.com. - Zetexa says partners can also use the same platform to sell monthly plans in markets where the company runs licensed mobile services.

The bottom line: - Zetexa is betting that travel brands want more than one-off eSIM sales. - Its pitch is a licensed, white-label stack that can turn travel connectivity, airport services and mobile plans into recurring customer relationships.
