secure resilience and growth via your travel payment strategy

Build financial resilience into your travel payment strategy

Market volatility has become a defining feature of travel – currency swings, supplier instability, shifting demand. The businesses that come out ahead aren’t the ones reacting fastest when disruption hits. They’re the ones that built financial resilience into their payments strategy.

New research produced in conjunction with FT Longitude, surveying 300 travel intermediary executives, shows the pressure is real: 84% say the risk of losses from supplier insolvency feels higher than it did a year ago, and 79% say payment limitations during disruption have already cost them customer loyalty.

WEX virtual cards give intermediaries a way to lock in FX rates at the point of booking, manage supplier risk and free up working capital when it matters most. Get the full findings and what they mean for your business in our executive report below.
