Case Study: Travel with Marie simplifies payments and drives growth with Flywire

Flywire solves payments and drives growth for South African travel company, Travel with Marie

Travel with Marie is a French-speaking inbound travel agency founded in 2011 by Marie Elefteriou and based in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and France. The company struggled with complicated payment processes: bank transfers created unclear FX fees and security concerns, while card payments added unexpected surcharges. These issues confused clients, delayed itineraries, and took up too much of the team’s time.

Flywire provided a simple payment solution that let Travel with Marie send clients a payment request link showing the total in their local currency, with currency conversion and charges handled automatically. Clients could pay using their preferred method, while Travel with Marie received funds in South African rand. With Flywire, the company processed 300 payments worth ZAR 40 million across 6 currencies, reduced client enquiries, and grew turnover by more than 10%.
