Airline & Travel Payments Summit B2B London 2025

Discussions at recent Airline & Travel Payments Summits highlighted the pace of change and the adoption of new solutions related to B2B transactions. Travel Merchants, including airlines, OTAs, TMCs and Hotels, are focused on both cutting costs and streamlining efficiencies on the B2B side of their payments (and fraud!). To cover this growing issue, we organised this ATPS B2B 2025 event.

Following on from the 2024 B2B Payment and Fraud event, there is a huge amount happening in this area.  Below are a few of the areas that delegates at that session, as well as from our regular industry updates have asked to be covered.  As you can see it is a comprehensive list and the aim will be to cover as much as possible during the day:

  • Updating/digistising the corporate payment infrastructure
    – Being able to better manage VCCs
    – Real Time payments
    – Delivering corporate dashboards with real time measurements of cash-flow, costs, fraud
  • Improving fraud systems
    – Better management of chargebacks as it relates to B2B payments
    – Using AI and Machine Learning (and big data) to better detect internal fraud as well as fraudulent payments to suppliers
    – Dealing with the numerous B2B fraud risks: fake suppliers/invoices, business email compromises
  • Developing better cross border payment efficiencies
    – Currency management and how to manage that in relation to B2C services like DCC/MCP
    – What are the new solutions to better manage in this area, for example, Blockchain
  • Regulatory Compliance
    – PCI DSS/KYC and AML are it relates to myriad of suppliers
  • IATA rules and regulation updates
  • Open banking adoption – what is it and what will be its impact on B2B paymentLatest market research and market information relating to B2B payments
