Payments for travel businesses
Tour operators, OTAs, agencies and transport — card acquiring that understands money arriving months before the trip.
The problem, honestly
Travel’s problem is the delivery window: customers pay today for a service delivered months later, so acquirers price in the refund-and-chargeback exposure and many simply decline the sector.
Underwriting here starts with how you actually manage that exposure — bonding, escrowed flows, refund history — instead of stopping at the sector label.

Travel payment FAQs
We were told travel is unbankable — is it?
No. It is priced and structured differently because of the delivery window, but bonded, well-run travel businesses are onboarded routinely.
Do you support ATOL/bonded operators?
Bonding and trust arrangements strengthen your application — they are exactly the evidence underwriting wants to see.
Can you handle supplier payouts too?
Yes — supplier payments run on the group payments network (170+ countries), so acquiring and payables sit in one relationship.
