For decades, money in travel has moved at lightning speed. From travellers to agents, and from agents to airlines, hotels and other suppliers. Yet despite the volume and velocity, disconnected systems and fragmented data make it difficult for agencies, acquirers and suppliers to see the full picture of how payments flow through the ecosystem.

That鈥檚 the gap WEX, a global leader in travel payment solutions, and a pioneer in transaction-level payment intelligence, are working to close. Their new partnership brings greater transparency and data-driven insight to the complex world of B2B travel payments, changing how travel intermediaries monitor and manage payment flows.

Creating a Single Source of Truth

This partnership combines WEX鈥檚 virtual card issuing capabilities with actuary.aero鈥檚 intelligent data platform to deliver a single source of truth across the travel payments ecosystem. Using WEX鈥檚 global virtual card infrastructure, the collaboration connects and standardises fragmented data across multiple acquirers, creating a unified data-driven environment that helps empower agencies, acquirers and suppliers to make smarter, faster financial decisions. 

鈥淭ravel intermediaries are often looking to optimise their cash flow and gain greater visibility across payment flows,鈥� said Jason Hancock, Managing Director of Global Travel at WEX. 鈥淭hrough this partnership, we鈥檙e providing them with data-driven insights into fund movement and exposure. This can not only enable faster access to working capital, but also enhance decision-making, improve credit line oversight and strengthen overall risk management.鈥�

Connecting the Full Payment Journey

By connecting payment inflows and outflows through WEX鈥檚 virtual card infrastructure, the partnership enables earlier fund release, helping travel agencies shorten cash cycles, giving acquirers clearer visibility of exposure and portfolio performance, and providing suppliers greater assurance through improved risk management practices.

WEX鈥檚 issuing capability sits at the centre, supporting the travel agency鈥檚 acquirer set-up, optimising transaction routing, and helping to enable every participant in the ecosystem to benefit from smarter, faster decisions. This connected framework can enhance efficiency, visibility and confidence across the entire travel payments network.

For airlines, this greater transparency across agency risk and fund flow demonstrates how WEX鈥檚 virtual card solutions underpin safer, more scalable distribution models, enabling agencies to operate confidently as merchants of record.

鈥淭his collaboration is about more than just payments. It鈥檚 about connecting the entire ecosystem,鈥� said Livia Vit茅, CEO of . 鈥淭ogether with WEX, we鈥檙e bringing clarity to complex B2B flows and replacing guesswork with data-driven insight. That means agencies, acquirers, and suppliers can all manage risk more intelligently, optimise collateral, and grow with confidence.鈥�
