“TripActions handles booking, inventory and payment [and] expense in an all-in-one platform,” according to company executives. TripActions rolled out its payment and expense platform Liquid in 2020 and expanded that functionality to Europe in 2021 via a partnership with Stripe to issue U.S. dollar-, British pound- , and euro-denominated smart virtual cards and physical cards in the region. It also partnered strategically with Lufthansa last year to target the small- and midsize clients enrolled in the carrier’s SME corporate discount programs with a version of the TripActions booking platform. 

Asked about the company’s most important innovation in 2021, executives identified Covid information and documentation functionalities: “TripActions integrated health passport and Covid-19 change notifications, allowing travelers to upload and manage documentation and stay informed of destination-specific restriction changes, directly in the app.”
