Travel agency: business bank account help after an industry the provider does not support
Refused over an industry the provider does not support? Xavion helps travel agencies assess the obstacle, prepare the relevant evidence and seek a suitable business bank account. We review your business before accepting the case, rather than send the same application to another provider.
We review your business first. Approved cases are guaranteed onboarding.

Decline assessment
Define the revenue model and markets accurately before assessing providers that may support the activity.
Application evidence
A sector-placement brief distinguishing the applicant's own activity from that of its customers and counterparties.
Sector-specific placement brief
Map customer booking payments to departure dates and supplier payment deadlines. We use supplier agreements, booking schedules and bonding or trust arrangements where applicable to explain the model, not just its industry label.
What we need to establish before accepting your case
- Which part of the model was excluded: the product, customers, jurisdictions or payment method?
- The answer determines which evidence is missing and whether this is a correctable application issue or a restriction that prevents placement.
- What money will this business bank account handle?
- Map customer booking payments to departure dates and supplier payment deadlines. The key distinction is how much paid-for travel remains undelivered and how cancellations affect available cash.
- What does a workable account need to support?
- Tell us the incoming and outgoing currencies, payment countries, monthly volumes and whether balances belong to the company or its customers. These determine the facility to seek.
Evidence we may need
Send the decline and a short business summary first. We confirm which records are relevant; not every item applies to every case.
- +Licence and compliance pack
- +Sector-specific policies
- +References from existing providers
- +Bonding or trust account evidence
- +Supplier contracts
- +Cancellation policy
What this service cannot bypass
- -We will not disguise an excluded activity under a generic consulting or software description.
- -We do not conceal ownership, funds origins or the real business activity. Unlawful activity cannot be fixed by a better application.
If the model itself is not lawful or licensable, no application fixes that, and we will say so at the review stage.
Our approach to an industry the provider does not support
Define the revenue model and markets accurately before assessing providers that may support the activity. The practical output is a sector-placement brief distinguishing the applicant's own activity from that of its customers and counterparties.
For travel agencies, we connect that work to supplier agreements, booking schedules and bonding or trust arrangements where applicable. The decision is not simply whether a provider accepts your industry: it is how much paid-for travel remains undelivered and how cancellations affect available cash. If the records do not answer the issue, we identify the gap before presenting an application.
Banking for the actual funds flow
We clarify who owns the money, the purpose of incoming and outgoing transfers, currencies and counterparties, and whether you need an operating account or a separate client-money arrangement. Banking placement does not automatically include card processing, lending or safeguarding. Those requirements must be identified separately rather than assumed to come with an account.
From review to provider onboarding
We review the decline, ownership and operating model first. We then identify the evidence gaps, prepare a provider-facing explanation and seek a placement route that fits the activity and required payment features. Any proposed terms need to be reviewed before you commit.
For cases Xavion approves after reviewing the business, we guarantee successful onboarding with a suitable bank or payment provider. Not every case is accepted. Xavion is an intermediary, not a bank or acquirer; providers perform their own checks and decide the facilities and terms they offer.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Every bank and payment provider makes its own final decision; Xavion is an intermediary, not a bank, acquirer or processor.
- Can you help travel agencies after an industry the provider does not support?
- We can assess the case and the evidence needed for a suitable placement route. Define the revenue model and markets accurately before assessing providers that may support the activity. We will not disguise an excluded activity under a generic consulting or software description. We only accept a case after reviewing the business; a previous refusal does not by itself establish that a replacement account is available.
- What should I send for the first assessment?
- Start with the decline or termination correspondence, your company country, website and the business bank account features you need. For this issue, relevant evidence includes licence and compliance pack, sector-specific policies, references from existing providers. Tell us what is unavailable rather than creating or altering records. We confirm what is needed for the actual case.
- What is different about placing travel agencies?
- Map customer booking payments to departure dates and supplier payment deadlines. We need to understand how much paid-for travel remains undelivered and how cancellations affect available cash. Relevant supporting material includes supplier agreements, booking schedules and bonding or trust arrangements where applicable. This lets us present the operating model accurately instead of submitting only a generic industry description.
- What is guaranteed, and how long will it take?
- Xavion guarantees successful onboarding for cases it approves after reviewing the business, not for every applicant. We do not promise a particular provider, account feature or completion date before review. Timing depends on evidence gaps, any required legal or regulatory work, and the provider's checks.
