Travel companies face significant challenges when paying suppliers internationally—high fees, currency conversion losses, and administrative burdens. Traditional solutions like Virtual Credit Cards (VCCs) or manual transfers create inefficiencies that directly impact profitability.

The Cross-Border Payment Challenge

International travel payments typically involve:

• Managing payments across dozens of countries with different banking systems
• Converting currencies with costly FX markups
• Reconciling thousands of transactions across various platforms

Most payment solutions offer either broad coverage with high fees or lower costs with limited reach.

PayDocker's Direct Banking Approach

Key Advantages:

1. True Local Settlement: Payments arrive as domestic transfers, not international wires
2. Rapid Processing: Funds typically clear within 1 business day
3. Minimal Fees: Elimination of correspondent bank charges and VCC fees
