Travel & Tourism

Your payment infrastructure was designed in 1971—your growth plans weren't

Strong fit for operators expanding into new destinations or adding supplier relationships faster than their finance team can scale.

Solutions by Role

For CEOs

Settlement systems built before email exist.

  • Direct settlement with suppliers. No intermediary banks holding funds.
  • Currency control across 170+ markets. Without treasury team overhead.
  • Same-day supplier confirmation. Instead of 3-5 day wire uncertainty.

For Sales

Pay suppliers before competitors confirm bookings.

  • Secure supplier commitments same-day. While competitors wait on wire confirmations.
  • Access underbanked corridors. Ground operators, guides, and venues in markets where correspondent banking fails.
  • Enter new destinations. Without establishing local banking infrastructure first.

For CFOs

FX visibility per booking, not per month-end.

  • 50-80% reduction in cross-border fees. Versus traditional wire transfers.
  • Real-time FX rate visibility. Per transaction—no more month-end surprises across multi-currency supplier bases.
  • Protect commission margins. When paying suppliers in Thai baht, Peruvian sol, or Portuguese euros.

For Operations

That Friday wire clears Friday, not Tuesday.

  • Settlement in hours. Instead of 3-5 business days through correspondent chains.
  • 24/7/365 payment execution. No more timing bookings around banking hours.
  • Programmable payment rules. For multi-supplier itineraries (10-day tour, 15 suppliers, one workflow).

Cross-border B2B payments reaching $35-40 trillion with only 6-8% settling instantly creates structural optimization opportunity.
