Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Merchant Accounts
Why is the travel industry considered high-risk for payment processing?

These factors create financial risk for banks and payment processors.

We provide merchant accounts for various travel businesses including travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, vacation rentals, online travel booking platforms, adventure travel companies, and travel marketplaces. Whether you're a startup or established business, our solutions are tailored to your specific needs.
How are the rates for travel merchant accounts determined?
Rates for travel merchant accounts are determined by several factors including your processing history, chargeback ratio, average ticket size, monthly volume, business longevity, credit score, and the specific travel services you offer. Circopay works to secure competitive rates based on your unique business profile.
What chargeback protection features do you offer for travel businesses?
Our chargeback protection for travel businesses includes advanced fraud screening tools, real-time transaction monitoring, address verification services (AVS), 3D Secure authentication, clear cancellation and refund policies assistance, dispute management services, and chargeback alerts that allow you to resolve issues before they become chargebacks.
How long does it take to get approved for a travel merchant account?
The approval process for a travel merchant account typically takes 1-2 weeks. This includes application review, underwriting, and account setup. Circopay streamlines this process by helping you prepare the right documentation upfront and advocating on your behalf with our banking partners.
