Unlock Simpler, Smarter Travel Payments

Running a travel business is complex enough. Payments shouldn’t be.

Kovena connects the travel ecosystem to remove friction from the entire payment journey – from booking to fulfilment and beyond. Whether you’re managing flights, accommodation, tours, car hire, or insurance, Kovena simplifies how payments move between travellers, partners, and suppliers.

With payments and reconciliation handled seamlessly behind the scenes, your team can focus on delivering exceptional travel experiences while Kovena takes care of the complexity.

Securely, Intelligently, and at Scale

Faster stays. Fewer issues. Happier guests.

The Front of House Team is on the front line of the guest experience. They shouldn’t be troubleshooting card errors or explaining deposit holds. They don’t need payment friction slowing things down.

With Kovena, you can:
  • Enable intelligent pre-authorisation before arrival
  • Reduce payment failures throughout the guest visit
  • Eliminate manual card handling and keying errors
  • Automate deposit collection and releases
  • Provide clear digital receipts and transparent holds
  • Speed up check-in and check-out
  • Minimise awkward payment conversations
  • Reduce disputes over deposits and incidental charges
The result?

Faster check-in and check-out. Fewer disputes. Happier guests.

Greater visibility. Stronger margins. Cleaner reconciliation.

Travel finance is complex – multiple channels, currencies, acquirers, refunds, and chargebacks.

Kovena unifies it all to help you
  • Automate reconciliation across OTAs, direct bookings, and POS
  • Reduce chargebacks and dispute costs
  • Lower multi-currency and FX expenses through global routing
  • Improve cost transparency across payment flows
  • Strengthen travel-specific fraud protection and compliance
  • Improve cash flow with optimised settlements
The result?

Less manual work. Reduced leakage. Cleaner books. Stronger profitability.
