Industry Challenges We Solve
Secure Payment Processing for Travel & Tourism Businesses
The travel industry faces unique payment processing challenges, from high-ticket transactions and advance bookings to international payments and seasonal fluctuations. Traditional payment processors often classify travel businesses as high-risk due to the time gap between payment and service delivery, leading to account closures and frozen funds. KeraPay specializes in providing stable, reliable payment processing solutions designed specifically for travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, hotels, and online travel platforms.
Why Travel Businesses Are Considered High Risk
Several factors contribute to the high-risk classification of travel merchants:
- Future Delivery: Services are often delivered weeks or months after payment
- High Transaction Values: International trips and luxury travel involve large amounts
- Cancellation Risk: Weather, political events, and pandemics can disrupt travel
- International Transactions: Cross-border payments increase fraud risk
- Chargeback Rates: Disputes over cancellations and service quality are common
- Business Volatility: Seasonal fluctuations and economic sensitivity
