The travel industry has long struggled with delayed payments and high-risk transactions. From airline tickets to cruise bookings, services are often paid for well before delivery, leading to cash flow challenges and financial uncertainty for merchants.
At the World Travel Market 2025, Livia Vité highlighted how her company’s new SaaS-based payment data platform solves these problems. Designed specifically for the travel sector, it streamlines deferred payment systems, enabling faster cash flow while giving both travel merchants and financial institutions complete transparency over risk and transaction data.
“Our platform creates a single source of truth for travel merchants and payment providers,” said Livia. “It bridges gaps, improves data understanding, and helps both sides work together with more confidence.”
Bridging Merchants and Financial Providers
The platform serves as a crucial bridge between two key players in the industry merchants like airlines, OTAs, and cruise operators, and financial providers such as acquirers, insurers, and virtual card issuers.
Through this intelligent data layer, businesses can access real-time insights into transaction behavior, monitor financial exposure, and improve liquidity. “We are creating a translation layer that connects both worlds,” explained Livia. “The more accessible the data, the stronger the collaboration and risk management.”
Adapting to Changing Market Demands
While sustainability is not its primary focus yet, the company remains open to exploring ways its technology could align with eco-friendly goals. “We’re focused on flexibility,” Livia shared. “As the travel ecosystem evolves, we want to support trends that drive long-term value.”
AI and Stablecoins: The Future of Travel Fintech
Artificial intelligence is at the core of the platform, using machine learning and analytics to uncover trends, detect risks, and predict financial outcomes. Livia explained how their AI engine processes massive amounts of booking and payment data, turning it into actionable insights that empower decision-making.
Stablecoins, too, are on their radar. As digital currencies backed by stable assets, stablecoins could revolutionize cross-border transactions by making payments faster and more efficient. “Stablecoins can increase cash flow and reduce friction,” said Livia. “For travel, this could be a real game-changer.”
Who Benefits from This Innovation
The platform caters to travel merchants managing large-scale deferred payments and financial institutions that handle the associated risks. Airlines, tour operators, and OTAs gain transparency, while banks and acquirers get better visibility into their clients’ financial health fostering a more secure and reliable travel ecosystem.
Livia believes that the convergence of AI, stablecoins, and intelligent data systems will redefine how travel payments operate globally. “We’re building for the future,” she said. “Our mission is to empower the industry with technology that simplifies complex systems and improves collaboration.”
With this innovation, the future of travel payments looks smarter, faster, and more resilient marking the beginning of a new era in travel technology.
