The new initiative follows the consortium’s partnership with Profit (Prevention Of Fraud in Trade), which was announced at its conference in Spain earlier this year.

The platform is designed to help protect against various types of fraud by sharing details of fraudulent activity against members’ businesses, including card payment fraud.

Through this access, members will be able to check credit card details, names, addresses, email address, telephone numbers, postcodes of individuals and IP addresses.

Paul Nunn, chief operating officer for Advantage, said: "As we know, fraud is not only expensive but also a time-consuming crime, and can have serious consequences for any business.

"By sharing details of any fraudulent activity on the system, members will be helping to protect not only their own business but also other travel businesses across the UK."

Information shared on the platform is anonymised and gathered from various travel sectors to build up a vast amount of information to help protect against future crimes.
