Smart FX For Travel

Protect margins with intelligent multi‑currency FX management, gaining full visibility and control across the entire payment lifecycle.

Travel companies operate across volatile currency corridors, long booking windows, and complex supplier networks. PingPong’s Smart FX Engine gives travel businesses precise control over FX exposure, margin protection, and multi-currency treasury operations — all through one unified platform.

How It Works

01

Booking Created

Traveler books in one currency; supplier is priced in another

02

FX Locked in Real Time

Optimal rate is quoted and FX rate locked at the moment of booking

03

Settled at Wholesale Prices 

Funds convert through pooled, high-volume FX liquidity (direct commerical benefit)

04

Suppliers Paid Out

Airline or supplier receives funds in their local currency
