What this shows

The June 2026 data shows that TL Virtual Card usage is not limited to one supplier type. It is already being used across multiple travel categories, with the strongest concentration in cruise, air and accommodation.

For travel businesses reviewing supplier payment strategy, these categories may be a useful place to start when assessing eligible card spend, cashback opportunity and reconciliation benefits.

Why supplier mix matters

Understanding supplier mix helps travel businesses identify where card payments may be relevant, where acceptance may already exist and where supplier payment data can be better connected to reconciliation workflows.

Not every supplier payment will be suitable for TL Virtual Cards. Acceptance can vary by supplier, country, payment route and commercial terms.

The Travel Ledger view
