Trust Payments, a leading fintech innovator across the UK and EU has partnered with felloh, the financial operations platform built for travel businesses, to help operators tackle one of the sector's most persistent problems: financial data scattered across booking systems, payment providers and finance platforms with no single view connecting them.

Travel businesses typically run multiple systems that don't talk to each other, leaving teams to manually match transactions, chase settlement data and reconcile reports by hand. The partnership between Trust Payments and felloh addresses this directly. Trust Payments provides the payment infrastructure, while felloh connects payments, bookings, settlements and reporting into a single operational view.

The need for scalable financial infrastructure is growing alongside the sector. According to ABTA's latest research into the UK outbound travel industry, outbound travel contributes more than £52 billion in GVA annually, with the sector projected to grow by 20% by 2030. The result is less time spent on manual admin and greater visibility over cash, liabilities and payment activity, particularly as travel businesses scale and transaction volumes grow.

Merchants using both platforms also gain access to automated margin recovery through felloh's intelligent surcharging capability.

Mark Skehill, Head of Travel and Hospitality Sales at Trust Payments, said: "With this new partnership, we can offer travel businesses better visibility of cash, liabilities and payment activity, stronger operational control, faster reconciliation and a more scalable finance operation as transaction volumes grow. We are delighted to be providing the payment infrastructure that many travel businesses rely on, while felloh helps connect that activity with bookings, finance processes and operational reporting."

The partnership is a natural evolution of a long-standing relationship between the two businesses and their shared goal of helping travel companies operate more effectively.

William Bicknell, CEO at felloh, said: "Travel businesses don't need more systems creating more data. They need greater visibility into the financial information they already have. Trust Payments has long been an important part of the payment infrastructure behind many travel businesses. By strengthening our partnership, we're combining trusted payment capabilities with the financial visibility and operational control that growing travel businesses increasingly need. Together, we're helping travel companies spend less time chasing information and more time making confident financial decisions."
