Travel & Hospitality: Smarter Payment Solutions
FuncCards provides virtual corporate cards and integrated travel expense management tools that help travel companies manage supplier payments, staff expenses, and bookings with precision. Combined with hospitality payment solutions, our platform supports the financial backbone of global travel businesses.
Challenges in Travel Payments
Travel companies often manage hundreds of suppliers, ranging from hotels and airlines to local guides and transport services. Manual processes and delayed payments create friction and risk. Handling refunds, cancellations, or chargebacks adds another layer of complexity. To stay competitive, businesses need systems that provide visibility, control, and efficiency in every transaction.
Here are the most common issues travel companies face:
- Coordinating multiple supplier payments across different currencies.
- Maintaining control over decentralized staff spending.
- Reconciling numerous expenses in real time.
- Ensuring reliability for last-minute bookings.
When addressed with automation and strong payment infrastructure, these challenges turn into opportunities for improved efficiency.
FuncCards transforms complex travel payments into a simplified workflow by assigning unique virtual cards to every booking. This ensures precise tracking, eliminates overspending, and simplifies cross-border settlements for agencies and OTAs.
Reconciliation Chaos
Using a single corporate account for thousands of bookings makes matching charges to specific travelers or itineraries nearly impossible, leading to hours of manual accounting work.
1-to-1 Booking Cards
Generate a unique virtual card for every specific flight, hotel, or itinerary. This automatically links every expense to a specific booking ID for instant, error-free reconciliation.
Unexpected Overcharges
Providing open credit lines to staff or suppliers carries the risk of unauthorized upgrades, hidden incidental charges, or fraud that exceeds the approved budget.
Hard Budget Caps
Set exact spending limits and expiration dates for each card. Once the approved booking amount is spent, the card declines further charges, protecting your margins.
High FX Costs
Paying global suppliers—from local guides to international airlines—often involves high foreign exchange fees and unfavorable bank rates that eat into agency profits.
Multi-Currency Support
Fund cards in crypto or fiat and settle payments in local currencies globally. This reduces conversion fees and ensures your international partners get paid fast.

How It Works: From Booking to Settlement

In case of cancellations, refunds are processed within the same system. All data flows into dashboards and accounting tools for automatic reconciliation.
