Travel
& Hospitality.
Foreign exchange is integral to the travel and hospitality industry, where international payments are routine and exposure to multiple currencies is constant.
Businesses in this space rely on smooth, timely transactions to maintain supplier relationships, protect margins and deliver consistent service across global markets.
Orbis Exchange supports travel agencies, hotel groups and operators with structured FX solutions that reduce cost, increase visibility and align with booking cycles.
By simplifying global payments and managing currency risk, Orbis Exchange helps clients operate with greater confidence and control.
Industry
Pressures.
The travel and hospitality industry operates across extended booking horizons, narrow margins and a complex network of international counterparties.
Exposure to multiple currencies presents an ongoing risk to profitability, particularly when future-dated payments are subject to unpredictable market movement.
Payment schedules across jurisdictions add further complexity.
In the absence of a structured FX approach, businesses are often impacted by poor rate visibility, delayed execution and inefficient currency conversion.
These issues increase cost, reduce financial clarity and place unnecessary pressure on internal resources.
Targeted
FX Solutions.
Orbis Exchange provides tailored foreign exchange strategies that support the operational and financial priorities of travel businesses.
With a focus on precision and efficiency, solutions are designed to manage currency risk, improve rate certainty and streamline payment processes across multiple jurisdictions.
Clients have access to a secure execution platform with full visibility over live market pricing, trade history and currency exposure. Local collection accounts simplify inbound payments, while structured forward contracts enable businesses to fix rates ahead of key booking and settlement periods.
Every relationship is led by an experienced FX specialist who works in alignment with internal finance teams, ensuring timely execution and informed decision-making across all transactions.
