National Transaction taught me so much about my travel payment processing, making it more effective and efficient. Their electronic Invoicing app makes it so easy to do e-commerce sales without having to integrate into my website.
So many of the payment aggregators like PayPal, Stripe and Square tend to freeze and hold your funds, if you can get them to accept your travel agency, National Transaction Guided me through all the obstacles.
We needed a solution for our Trams Booking Engine and National Transaction was the only game in town. I'm glad we switched.
I shopped around to get the lowest rates possible, not only did NTC provide the lowest rates, their customer support is absolutely stellar.
As a host travel agency owner, my needs are unique and diverse. National Transaction makes it easy to satisfy all my payment processing needs.
We get a lot of questions and concerns regarding travel payment processing. Our process is to be clear and transparent when providing guidance for any travel payment merchant services we provide.
One of the biggest reasons the travel industry is "high risk" when it comes to payment processing is the concept of "delayed delivery". Most travel bookings happen months before the credit card holder ever even boards the plane or cruise ship. This leaves open the window of opportunity for a charge back in the event of an unsatisfying experience. During that open window the travel agents might still be accepting future booking which compounds the risk to the bank that is providing the funding to the travel agency.
Typically banks want to know the financial health of a business when underwriting their "risk exposure". Tax returns, balance sheets, and business financials(profit & loss statements) can give the bank the insight required to reduce or eliminate reserves or holds on funding requirements placed on the merchant account.
When there is an anomaly on your merchant account, such as a spike in volume or unusual transaction activity, a payment processor might hold the funds from deposit into your account while a review is performed. Sometimes additional information may be requested to facilitate the review. Once the review is complete and the volume/transaction activity has been verified, the hold may be lifted and the funds will flow through to your bank account.
Reserves, on the other hand, are a portion of funds the processor holds indefinitely to mitigate the risk of a specific merchant account. Reserves can be reviewed periodically if the financial position of the business improves to see if they can be released, reduced, and or removed.
At National Transaction we strive to eliminate both holds and reserves on your merchant account. If you are experiencing either of these on your current travel payment processing, we're here to help. Call 888-996-2273 to get started today.
Funds can be dopostied right into your bank account, the next business day, with our next day funding option. Generally funds are deposited 48-72 hours without next-day-funding.
Many travel agents tend to work from home, or incorporate their own business as a travel agency. As they grow in size they will recruit other travel agents, or even travel agencies to come work for them, or sell their products and services as a representative of the larger "Host Travel Agency" This arrangement has one person or business selling for another and to mitigate confusion has a single merchant account for electronic payment processing. By doing it this way the host travel agency's business name will appear on the credit card statments of the traveler. This can lead to fewer chargebacks and less confusion for the credit card holder.
