Advance bookings shouldn’t mean advance risk.

Future-dated bookings, a long gap between the charge and service delivery, and cancellations or refunds. PayWavez underwrites travel businesses individually, so your account is built around how your business actually operates — not a generic template.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How fast is approval?
2-Minute Instant Boarding: Move through identity verification and start accepting payments in as little as two minutes.
What if a customer disputes months after they booked?
Long lead times between booking and travel date are a known characteristic of the industry, and underwriting accounts for it rather than treating every late dispute as a red flag. A clear, prominently posted cancellation policy at the time of booking is your best protection.
