Case Study: International Air Transport Association (IATA) achieves uninterrupted £1B monthly collections with AccessPay

How IATA collects £1 Billion in monthly payments with AccessPay

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents 82% of global air traffic, faced a critical payments challenge when their bank discontinued payment capabilities — a major problem given that IATA collects £1 Billion per month and sends twice-monthly large payment batches where delays or errors are unacceptable. To restore service quickly without disrupting airline operations, IATA selected AccessPay’s Bank Integration Platform to integrate their bank and back-office systems.

AccessPay implemented a secure integration solution connecting IATA’s existing systems and banks, using governance controls and file encryption to meet strict security needs. The AccessPay platform re-established payment flows without switching banks, saved manpower and costs, delivered fast time-to-value with minimal disruption, and provided IATA with greater control, visibility, agility and efficiency while continuing to support the £1 Billion-per-month collections.
