Our take
Coined the PayPal for travel, WeTravel is an online payment platform that offers group travel companies with the pre-departure tools to collect payments and plan logistics. With over half a million customers using its platform, and providing payments to thousands of businesses, the company has certainly made its mark as the travel industry continues to bounce back from its pandemic rut.
After a sustained period of strong growth, the company raised substantial funding that will be invested in expanding the business. WeTravel is also looking to uncover further travel fintech solutions for business owners, such as its instant payment feature, which enables businesses to transfer funds to suppliers and employees for immediate cash withdrawal.
