Why Localpayment
One platform for every flow in a trip
Trips are expensive, bought in advance and often paid by someone other than the traveler. Payments built for small, domestic tickets struggle with all three.
Local cards, installments and bank payments
Local cards charged by a foreign acquirer can face more declines and extra fees, and a family package can exceed a card limit without installments. Accept Visa and Mastercard in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, plus American Express in Argentina and American Express and Diners Club in Colombia, with installments and 3D Secure in Colombia, Mexico and Peru — and offer Pix, PSE and Bre-B to travelers who prefer to pay from their bank. Card tokenization speeds up returning travelers.
Local cards, installments and bank payments —Protect high-value bookings
Card controls built for high-value, card-not-present bookings. Hold the amount when the trip is booked, capture the final charge at confirmation, or release the hold if the booking falls through, and authenticate bookings with 3D Secure in Colombia, Mexico and Peru before you charge high tickets.
A dedicated account for every agency
Travel agencies pay by transfer with a reference in the memo, or none at all, and finance matches them by hand. Issue a virtual account per agency or booking file — CLABE in Mexico, CVU in Argentina, Pix keys in Brazil, CCI in Peru, and USD collections via SPID in Mexico — so every transfer is matched automatically, with a webhook the moment funds arrive.
A dedicated account for every agency —Pay suppliers and settle where your business runs
International wires to hotels and local operators are slow, costly and hard to track. Pay suppliers in local currencies by local bank transfer — real-time where available: SPEI, Pix, COELSA, TEF, CCE — in real time, 24/7 or one by one, with downloadable proof of payment. Hold local balances, convert into USD or EUR within local market hours with a locked quote, run bulk conversions between your own accounts and withdraw to your bank account or to allow-listed USDC/USDT wallets.

Industry FAQ
Where is this solution available?
Coverage varies by product, payment method and market. Check Coverage & Network for the current details.
Can I offer installments on travel bookings?
Yes, on cards in Colombia, Mexico and Peru, together with 3D Secure. In other markets, account-to-account rails and virtual accounts are often the better fit for high-value tickets.
Can I authorize a card at booking and charge the final amount later?
Yes. With pre-authorization and capture you place a hold when the trip is booked, capture the final amount when it is confirmed, or cancel the authorization if the booking falls through.
How do travel agencies pay us?
Give each agency, or each booking file, its own virtual account. The agency pays by local transfer from any bank, and we match the payment and notify you by webhook automatically.
Do you accept cards in Brazil?
No. In Brazil, travelers pay with Pix, which is instant and available 24/7, or by bank transfer into a Pix-key virtual account.
How do refunds and chargebacks work?
Card refunds go back to the same card; transfer-based payments are refunded as a payout to the traveler’s account in local currency, with a signed webhook on every status change. Chargebacks on cards follow the schemes’ rules; 3D Secure shifts liability on authenticated transactions, and account-to-account rails such as Pix, PSE and SPEI do not carry chargebacks.
Can I hold balances in several currencies and convert when I choose?
Yes. Collections stay in local currency until you convert them, within local market hours, to USD, EUR or another supported hard currency, locking the rate with a quote token. You can also keep local balances to fund supplier payouts and refunds without converting twice.
How long does it take to go live?
You receive Stage credentials at the start of the partnership, test every flow with no real money and go live in weeks. New markets are added by configuration, with no reintegration.
