Travel & Leisure

Helping travel and leisure companies to access new international markets

Optimise your currency management processes with our toolkit tailored for Travel and Leisure companies.

Accept local currency payments, whilst mitigating the foreign exchange (FX) risk on refunds and cancellations as well as the original sale

Your challenges...

Increased costs of international expansion

Being merchant of record means costs for processing payments, customer service and ticketing logistics.

Currency risk

Exposure to currency risk across the settlement cycle can have a large impact on businesses – some payment method exposures are as great as 7-10 days.

Process complexity

Multiple complex processes to effectively manage transactions, netting, settlement and reconciliation.

Losing customer sales

25% of customers leave a travel website if they don’t see local pricing.

Our solutions…

Revenue Generation

Capture FX revenue to offset costs of payment processing - many existing clients capture in excess of 3% of their cross- border sales revenue.

Risk mitigation

Automatically eliminate any currency risk at a transactional level. Rates can be guaranteed† for as long as you need (includes cancellations and refunds).

Automation

Automated pricing, FX and settlement reduces operational overheads. Remove manual reconciliation processes and enhance your control framework.

Increased sales

Customers can see pricing in their currency and are less likely to go elsewhere to make their purchase.
