TL Pay first, with supporting routes where they fit.
Start with connected settlement through TL Pay, then use TL Virtual Cards and Payment IQ where supplier acceptance and commercial opportunity make sense.
Fund and settle payments to connected suppliers with booking references, accepted balances, commission values where provided and remittance data connected — instead of card, bank, portal and back-office payments living apart.
Explore TL PayPay eligible off-platform suppliers by card, where card acceptance allows, and earn cashback on spend you're already making.
Explore TL Virtual CardsModel your supplier spend for an indicative view of where each payment could work harder.
Open Payment IQTrade Buyers do not pay to use TL Pay, making connected settlement a simple starting point for supplier payments. TL Virtual Cards and other payment opportunities may be subject to separate terms.
Safer supplier payment workflows
For connected suppliers, TL Pay reduces the need for Trade Buyers to manually onboard, maintain or re-key supplier bank details — helping reduce exposure to bank-detail fraud and payment redirection risk.
Turn eligible off-platform spend into a commercial line.
Where suppliers sit outside connected settlement and accept cards, eligible payments can route through a Travel Ledger Virtual Card — with cashback credited monthly and a clear audit trail.
