Abta members using its current single payment system (SPS) will be moved over to a new blockchain-based system by 10 September.

It comes as consumers rein in discretionary spending as the cost of living soars

SPS is Abta’s direct debit system for consolidating online payments between agents and operators, and is being replaced by a new system created in partnership with technology company Travel Ledger.

Roberto Da Re, founder of the Travel Ledger Alliance, told TTG that the transition process was designed to be “as easy as possible” for Abta members.
