PingPong and Sabre have joined forces to streamline agency operations through a new embedded payment solution tailored to the global travel ecosystem.
Travel agencies have long struggled with FX exposure due to the timing gap in transactions. While the exchange rate at the time of booking sets the price for the customer, the actual rate at the moment of settlement can fluctuate significantly, directly impacting the agency's margins. This gap, when multiplied across thousands of transactions, may cost millions. This has long been accepted as the "cost of doing business."
As volatility increases across major corridors, it has become one of the largest unaddressed financial risks in the modern travel stack.
The new PingPong‑Sabre solution addresses this challenge by embedding FX optimization directly into the Sabre Mosaic™ Marketplace. Agencies using Sabre will be able to access optimized FX rates at the time of booking, allowing agencies to be more competitive and profitable.Future releases will extend capabilities into a more comprehensive payment experience tailored to the travel industry's unique demands.
By bringing additional payment services closer to core agency workflows within the Sabre platform, we reduce the friction of managing multiple third‑party vendors and help simplify the broader payments ecosystem.We're proud to be building this alongside an industry leader, helping modernize how global payments work across travel and supporting more efficient movement of money at scale.
