Travel Payment Processing & Travel Merchant Accounts
Travel businesses take payment long before the service is delivered. That delay worries banks, which often respond with large reserves or refusals. We help travel merchants find processing built around future-dated bookings and international customers.
Why Travel is considered high risk
- There can be weeks or months between payment and travel.
- Cancellations and disruptions lead to refund and chargeback spikes.
- Large average transaction values increase exposure.
- Customers pay from many countries and currencies.
What we can set up for you
- Merchant accounts for agencies, tour operators and booking sites
- Support for deposits and staged payments
- Multi-currency pricing and settlement
- Reserve structures negotiated to suit your cash flow
- Fraud screening for high-value bookings
