How OTAs can leverage pay-outs as a growth strategy.

Online Travel Agents (OTAs) have long focused on optimising customer payments, but pay-outs to travel suppliers remain an overlooked opportunity for growth.

As the travel industry evolves, forward-thinking OTAs and their CFOs are recognising that strategic pay-out solutions can strengthen supplier relationships, improve financial resilience, and unlock new revenue streams.   

In this fireside chat, Shona Sabah speaks with James Lemon (Global Lead – Travel, Transport, Leisure & Automotive at Stripe) to explore why pay-outs should be seen as a growth lever rather than just a back-office function.  

During their conversation Shona and James cover how leading OTAs are rethinking their pay-out strategies to reduce inefficiencies, enhance supplier loyalty, and drive profitability through smarter payment solutions, as well as discussing the key trends and innovations shaping pay-outs in travel, from real-time pay-outs and virtual cards to multi-currency solutions and automation. 

This fireside chat took place in July 2025, but is now available for you to watch on-demand all year round.
