Travel Merchant Account

Are you Eligible for an Travel Merchant Account?

Understanding merchant accounts in the travel industry can be complex. Reliable payment processing is essential as the world reopens post-COVID-19. In 2019, the global travel market reached an impressive $9.25 billion. Despite the severe impact of COVID-19 in 2020, the travel industry is gradually recovering, with expectations of continued growth.

A merchant account for travel is a dedicated payment processing account tailored to assist enterprises in the travel and hospitality sector, encompassing entities such as travel agencies, tour operators, and hotels. These specialized accounts enable businesses in the travel industry to seamlessly handle customer payments for an array of services, including flight bookings, vacation packages, hotel and tour reservations, among other travel-related offerings.

Why Travel Merchants need to apply for a Merchant Account

1

Security Issues

To safeguard customer payment data, travel businesses must comply with PCI DSS security standards. A suitable travel agency merchant account is instrumental in ensuring both compliance and security in every transaction.

2

Returns and Refunds

When a customer requests a refund for a booked service, the travel business seamlessly processes the refund through their payment gateway. The efficiency of this process is notably facilitated by having a travel agency merchant account.

3
