Why B2B Virtual Card Interchange Rates Fuel Travel Tech Innovation

Every time a travel agent or OTA pays a supplier using a virtual card, they earn a small percentage back in interchange fees. This cashback has become a major revenue stream for travel platforms.

Self-Funding Travel Management

This revenue model allows business travel platforms to offer their booking software to companies for free. The software is funded entirely by the virtual card interchange revenues generated from travel bookings, shifting how software is monetized.
