PELIKIN PARTNERS WITH ISIC FOR WORLD FIRST
STUDENT & YOUTH VIRTUAL TRAVEL MONEY CARD

21 October 2021: Pelikin, Australia’s travel super app and travel card, has announced a new partnership with International Student Identity Card (ISIC) to give students access to Pelikin’s travel products and expand ISIC’s current lineup of offers into the digital space.

The creation of the Pelikin x ISIC Visa Travel Card opens a whole new world of deals to Australia’s young travellers. With it, they get access to ISIC’s 150,000 offers including the likes of Microsoft and Adobe, plus Pelikin’s bespoke travel money product and exclusive student fares.

This partnership will bring forward ISIC into the digital age, enabling the company to meet the modern student’s evolving needs. It positions both companies to provide maximum value for their customers, especially once global travel restrictions are completely lifted.

For ISIC, this partnership is all about innovation and creating value.

Jodie Killan, Managing Director, ISIC Australia & New Zealand, says of the partnership, “I am incredibly excited to see this collaboration come together. There is no question that what Pelikin aims to deliver to their customers aligns with our ISIC mission of ‘Making Student Life Better’, and I believe we can achieve a lot of these goals together to provide something exciting and unique to the student and young traveller audience.”

This is a sentiment that has been echoed by Pelikin CEO, Sam Brown, who says, “Together ISIC and Pelikin can integrate your ID, verification, discounts, and more under one umbrella. And we’ll take it a step further once we integrate ISIC’s global offers directly to the Pelikin card. This is the first in the world, and we’re proud to be doing this for all our customers.”

This partnership makes Pelikin the official travel and money partner of ISIC in the region. This virtual ISIC payment partnership is the first of its kind wherein ISIC’s full product range will be integrated into the Pelikin app, expanding its features.

“With our re-launch of ISIC in Australia and New Zealand in Dec 2020 under SAVVY Youth & Student Pty Ltd, our goal has been to do things differently, provide more value, offer greater support and keep pushing the boundaries on what we can achieve,” said Jodie.

With travel and lifestyle needs changing, innovation and value creation have become more important than ever. Pelikin and ISIC have done this to offer something new to students and young travellers alike. Together, travel and lifestyle will only get better.
