Trust Payments launches Virtual Cards for travel businesses, powered by Weavr. Posted On 2 November 2026 3 minutes read Trust Payments, a leading fintech innovator across the UK and EU, has launched Virtual Cards for travel businesses, powered by embedded finance provider Weavr, helping eligible travel companies manage supplier payments with greater visibility and control. Trust Payments already supports travel businesses in accepting payments from their customers. Virtual Cards extend that relationship to the other side of the payment journey, enabling businesses to pay approved travel suppliers using single-use Visa virtual cards in GBP and EUR. The type of card offered will be Visa Commercial Choice Travel (VCCT), a virtual card solution purpose-built for commercial entities to handle automated supplier settlements and secure business travel payments. Each Virtual Card is linked to an individual booking, connecting booking and payment data so transactions are easier for finance teams to identify, track and reconcile. Businesses fund their account by bank transfer, with spending made from the available balance. Supplier failure remains a particular risk for the travel sector, but chargebacks can make a real difference: close to US$60 million has been recovered across 14 airline failures since 2017, according to 2025 industry research Protecting Travel Intermediaries. Though recovery isn't guaranteed, booking data associated with each Virtual Card can help support chargeback claims if a supplier fails to deliver, subject to card scheme rules. Single-use card details cannot be reused, and payments are monitored in real time to help reduce fraud risk. Eligible supplier payments can also earn rebates paid by Trust Payments, helping travel businesses get more value from outgoing payments alongside faster and simpler reconciliation. Rebate rates vary depending on card and supplier type. Virtual Cards are available to eligible travel businesses in the UK and EEA, subject to business verification and anti-money laundering checks. Laurence Booth, Group CEO of Trust Payments said: "Travel businesses have to manage money moving in both directions. We already support our customers in accepting payments from travellers and Virtual Cards mean we can now help them manage supplier payments too. By linking each supplier payment to an individual booking, we can give travel businesses clearer oversight of outgoing spend and reduce the manual work involved in reconciliation. Working with Weavr enables us to extend the payments relationship we already have with travel customers and support more of their payment journey." Alex Mifsud, CEO and Co-Founder of Weavr, said: "Merchant acquirers already sit at the heart of the payments relationship with travel businesses. Embedded virtual card issuing gives them an opportunity to complement acquiring with supplier payments without having to build that capability from the ground up. By working with Trust Payments, we can bring these capabilities to travel businesses through a provider they already know, helping them gain greater visibility and control over how they pay suppliers."

Using payments activity to plan your 2027 growth. Published in: Blog As the last quarter of 2026 gets underway, business growth ambitions for 2027 move into sharper focus for small businesses across the UK. Yet many merchants overlook one of the most practical starting points for that planning: their own payments activity. Payments data isn't just about processing sales. It's a live record of how a business actually performs, and it holds signals that can shape a stronger, more realistic growth plan for the year ahead. The stakes are real. The five-year survival rate for UK businesses born in 2019 is 38.4%, according to ONS Business demography, UK: 2024. And access to finance remains a persistent barrier to growth: 72% of SMEs say they will defer their growth plans if they can't obtain finance via traditional routes. Closing that gap starts with understanding what a business's own data is already telling it. Reading your payments activity as a growth signal. * Transaction volume and patterns reveal cash flow trends that business owners can act on directly, from seasonal peaks and troughs to which products or services are driving the most consistent revenue. * Consistent payments data builds a picture that investors and lenders want to see when assessing whether a business is a sound prospect for funding, not just something useful internally. * SMEs preparing for investment increasingly think like VCs when reviewing their own numbers, scrutinising trends the same way an external investor would before committing capital. * Cash flow issues are widely cited as a leading cause of SME failure, reinforcing why payments data matters for growth planning, not just day-to-day operations. A business that understands its own cash flow patterns is better placed to plan around them, rather than being caught out by them. Turning payments data into working capital. Understanding your payments data is only half the picture. The other half is knowing what financing options exist to act on it, and this is where many SMEs fall short. The latest report from British Business Bank shows 69% of smaller businesses report a lack of awareness of the finance options available to them, up from 60% the previous year, a gap that is widening rather than closing. Payments-linked financing offers one route to bridge that gap. It ties borrowing directly to sales performance, not fixed loan terms, meaning access to funding is shaped by how a business actually trades rather than by rigid repayment schedules designed for a different kind of business entirely. Trust Payments' partnership with YouLend allows eligible merchants to access a business loan, funded by YouLend, repaid via a percentage of the payment volumes processed with Trust Payments. No collateral is required, and approval is based on real trading data rather than conventional credit metrics alone. Repayments flex with trading activity, easing pressure during quieter periods and scaling naturally when sales are strong, which is a meaningfully different proposition to a fixed monthly loan repayment that doesn't move with the business. How a payments provider supports growth ambitions. A payments service provider can help fund and shape growth plans by combining transaction insight with access to finance in one place. Merchants gain a clearer growth roadmap by pairing payments data with financing options, rather than treating the two as separate considerations handled by different providers at different times. Getting the right funding at the right time is often what turns growth ambitions into action. A well-timed injection of working capital, whether for stock, staffing, marketing or expansion, can be the difference between a growth plan that stays on paper and one that gets delivered. Start planning now, not in January. Payments activity and business growth are more closely linked than most SMEs realise. The data is already there, quietly building a picture of trading patterns, cash flow and financial health, whether or not a business is actively using it. Now is the time to plan 2027 ambitions, not wait until the new year, when the same data could already be informing decisions about funding, timing, and where to focus growth efforts first. The final quarter of the year is also when this data is most valuable. Trading activity through Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the pre-Christmas rush gives a clear read on true peak-season performance, information that's far harder to reconstruct once the new year begins and momentum has moved on to other priorities. SMEs that pair this real-time picture with the right financing conversation now can walk into January with a plan already in motion, rather than starting from scratch. Take the guesswork out of planning 2027 with financing that moves with your sales. Explore Trust Business Financing.
Why now is the time to become an HDS Cloud Apps Reseller. A presence in every city, built on purpose. Over the past few weeks HDS Cloud Apps has been deliberately building out HDS Cloud Apps' presence across every major city in the UK and Ireland - dedicated pages for London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Dublin and dozens more, plus hub pages covering England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as whole markets in their own right. Each one is written specifically for that city's hospitality and retail scene, not a single generic template with the town name swapped in. That matters for a reseller because of what it does quietly in the background: a hospitality operator searching for EPOS options in their own city finds a page that's actually about their city, their sector, and the way trade actually works where they are - not a homepage that assumes every venue in the country trades the same way a central London restaurant does. That's a warmer lead than a generic national ad ever produces, and it's exactly the kind of interest a local reseller is best placed to pick up and convert, because the groundwork of "why HDS, why now" has already been done before the phone even rings. Why its reseller network keeps growing. Search visibility gets a lead to the door. What's actually growing its reseller network is what happens after that - and it comes down to three things HDS Cloud Apps hear from resellers themselves, over and over, on calls, in review meetings, and in the quiet moments when a reseller mentions in passing that a platform they used to sell just isn't worth the hassle anymore. Great communication. A reseller isn't left guessing where a deal stands or what's happening with a client they placed six months ago. Clear, direct communication with the HDS team - not a ticket queue, not an account manager who changes every quarter - is something resellers consistently tell HDS Cloud Apps they don't get from other platforms they've worked with. When a client has a question mid-deployment, or a reseller needs a straight answer before they can close, they're talking to someone who actually knows the account, not starting again from the top of a call script. Flexibility of product. HDS Cloud Apps covers restaurants, bars, hotels, cafes, retail and a growing list of specialist sectors - golf clubs, padel courts, stadiums, charity retail - from one platform with 50+ modules. A reseller isn't stuck pitching a rigid product and hoping it fits; the platform flexes to whatever the client in front of them actually needs, whether that's a single-till independent café or a multi-site group running restaurants, retail and events under one roof. That range means a reseller doesn't need three different partnerships to cover three different types of client - one platform, one relationship, every sector. Great support, happy customers. A reseller's commission is only as good as how long that client stays. Every HDS client gets full onboarding, staff training and 24/7 UK-based support - which means a reseller isn't the one fielding a 10pm technical call on a Friday service, and the client they placed a year ago is still a happy, paying customer today. A churned client is a dead commission stream; a supported one keeps paying out for years, which is the entire logic behind why support quality matters as much to a reseller's income as it does to the client's experience. Payment agnostic, by design HDS Cloud Apps integrates with 8 payment providers - Dojo, Teya, Trust Payments, Viva, Musqet, Global Payments, WorldPay and Take Payments - and never forces a client onto one of them. A client can choose the provider that suits them and switch later without replacing their EPOS. For a reseller, that's an easier conversation with a client who's been burned by a "free till, locked processor" deal before, and a genuine point of difference against platforms built to funnel every client into one payment relationship. What you actually earn as a reseller. The commission structure is built to compound, not to pay out once and disappear. Every component of a deal earns: the software subscription, the hardware margin, and a separate payments commission - all from a single client relationship, with no carve-outs reducing what's actually payable. A client placed a year ago is still earning commission today, and every month after that, without a single additional sales call. New clients also get 40% off their buy rate, which makes the pitch itself far easier - a genuinely lower price rather than a discount that quietly unwinds once a trial period ends, so a hospitality or retail business isn't weighing up a "free for now" offer against what they'll actually pay once the honeymoon period is over. "The recurring commission model means I earn from clients I placed over a year ago. It keeps building quietly in the background." - HDS Cloud Apps Reseller Partner Who makes a good HDS Cloud Apps reseller. There isn't one fixed profile, and that's part of the point. Existing hardware or till resellers use HDS Cloud Apps to add a genuinely flexible platform alongside kit they already sell, rather than being tied to whatever rigid software their current supplier bundles in. Payment ISOs and agents already talking to hospitality and retail businesses about processing find EPOS a natural extension of that same conversation - and because HDS is payment agnostic, that conversation never turns into a fight over which processor the client is forced to use. Hospitality consultants and local IT providers who are already the trusted first call for venues in their city are often sitting on the exact kind of relationships a city-specific search page is built to attract; they just haven't had a reason to bring EPOS into that relationship before. What all of them have in common is an existing network, even a small one, and a willingness to have one more useful conversation with the businesses they already know. The platform, the commission structure and the support behind every client are the same regardless of which of those starting points a reseller comes from. Ready to grow with HDS Cloud Apps? A growing local presence in every major UK and Ireland city means more hospitality and retail businesses finding HDS Cloud Apps every week - and every one of those conversations is an opportunity for a reseller who's ready to have it. Combine that with a product flexible enough to fit almost any venue, a payment-agnostic platform that makes the pitch easier, and support good enough that clients stay for years, and it's a genuinely good time to be joining the network rather than watching it grow from outside. If you're already talking to hospitality or retail businesses about their tech stack - or want to start - find out how the HDS Cloud Apps reseller programme works and what a recurring income built on real support actually looks like. Frequently asked questions. How do I become an HDS Cloud Apps reseller? What do HDS Cloud Apps resellers earn commission on? Do resellers have to sell one specific payment provider? What support do resellers get after signing a client? HDS Cloud Apps HDS Cloud Apps builds cloud EPOS for hospitality and retail businesses across the UK, Ireland and Europe, sold and supported through a growing network of local reseller partners. Build a recurring income selling world-class EPOS. Impressive recurring commissions, a flexible product, real support behind every client, and no forced payment provider to pitch around.

Trust Payments selected by Les Ambassadeurs Casino to modernise payment infrastructure. Land-based Mayfair casino installs five point-of-sale terminals in private gaming spaces. Trust Payments, a leading fintech innovator across the UK and EU, has been selected by London's prestigious Les Ambassadeurs Casino to modernise its payment infrastructure, deploying its point-of-sale technology at one of Mayfair's most historic private members' clubs. The move reflects wider investment across premium hospitality and gaming in modern payment technology, as operators respond to changing customer expectations while maintaining the levels of service their customers expect. Contactless payments now account for the majority of UK card transactions, 75 per cent of debit and 66 per cent of credit card payments in March 2026, according to UK Finance, reflecting the continued growth of contactless payments across the UK economy. Five point-of-sale terminals have been installed throughout Les Ambassadeurs' private gaming spaces and dining areas, with the deployment completed in just 72 hours. The implementation enables a seamless payment experience across the venue while simplifying payment reconciliation across gaming and hospitality. Robert Cairns, Chief Financial Officer for Les Ambassadeurs, said: "Trust Payments terminals have integrated into our operation without fanfare, which is rather the point. The state-of-the-art terminals and frictionless service have set a new standard for us." Laurence Booth, Group CEO of Trust Payments, added: "Consumer expectations around payments continue to evolve, even in the most established hospitality and gaming venues. We're proud to have delivered a seamless, reliable payment experience for Les Ambassadeurs' members within the timeframe the business required, and to support Les Ambassadeurs as it continues to invest in the experience it offers its members." Les Ambassadeurs Club, or "Les A", has welcomed aristocracy, diplomats and members of the establishment since the early 19th century and remains one of London's most exclusive private casinos.
