Why Traditional Travel Payment Methods Fall Short:
Inefficient travel payments and complex reconciliation
Traditional payment methods in the travel industry are slow, manual, and error-prone, resulting in inefficient reconciliation and delayed financial reporting.
Lack of flexibility and limited payment options
Companies often struggle to meet the growing demand for flexible, seamless payments across multiple travel providers and booking platforms. Traditional corporate cards are limited in their flexibility and adaptability, especially for online travel agents and travel management companies (TMCs).
High costs and security concerns
High transaction costs and security issues plague traditional travel payment methods. Many businesses face hidden fees and security vulnerabilities, especially in international travel transactions.
How Pliant & Conferma Revolutionize Travel Payments

Pliant’s partnership with Conferma enables businesses to issue virtual cards directly through the Pliant app, simplifying the payment process. These cards provide increased security and reduce manual reconciliation efforts, making travel payments faster and more reliable.
Greater flexibility for travel management companies (TMCs) and OTAs
With Pliant and Conferma’s virtual cards, travel management companies and online travel agents gain access to a wide network of booking platforms and card issuers. This flexibility ensures businesses can make payments securely and efficiently, no matter where they book their travel services.
Lower costs and enhanced control over payments
