FAQs

Discover everything you need to know about the travel payment merchant accounts.

We've worked with numerous new businesses and start-ups to get them approved and operational. However, before approving a transaction, banks prefer to see a long history of transactions and an established relationship with the merchant. But that doesn't mean we can't approve you. Contact us immediately, and we will walk you through your options.

Once all of the necessary documents and applications have been received, it typically takes 2-5 business days to get approved. Occasionally accounts can be approved in less than 24-48 hours, our team will work as quickly as possible to get your account up and running.

Payment gateways, which collect consumer payment information, handle travel payments. This technology enables merchants to accept debit or credit card payments for travel purchases.

The phrase "payment gateway" refers not just to physical card-reading machines (point-of-sale terminals) seen in stores, but also to travel payment processing portals (or 'checkouts') seen in online stores.

Travel payment processing can also include outbound payments made by travel corporations to their vendors and suppliers, such as tour operators, airlines, and hotels.

Travel licensing is not required in most circumstances, but possessing an arc/iatan registration increases your chances of approval with all of our partner banks.

Most travel sector merchant account applicants will be asked to give information about their fulfillment timeframes, primary travel destinations, estimated international card usage, and ticket sources.

There are several reasons a business might be considered high risk, depending on the industry, financial practices, operational factors, legal and litigation risks, fraud risks, regulatory issues, market volatility, and credit history.
