Travel & ticketing merchant accounts.
Acquiring for agencies, OTAs and event sellers, built around future-delivery risk, with reserves and routing that keep you processing.
Why travel & ticketing is considered high-risk.
Acquiring banks label this vertical high-risk for a few specific reasons, then decline good businesses by default. Understanding why is the first step to getting approved.
- Future delivery: long gaps between payment and service increase chargeback liability.
- Disruption risk: cancellations, weather and insolvency drive dispute spikes.
- Seasonality: sharp volume swings complicate risk appetite and reserves.
