Virtual Cards for Lodging

The Challenge: Solving Workforce Lodging Payment Problems

Traditional payment methods exposed Frontier Lodging to fraud, delays, and inefficiencies. Like many workforce travel providers, Frontier needed a more secure and efficient hotel payment solution. Traditional corporate cards created fraud risk, reconciliation issues, and check-in delays—prompting the need for a smarter approach with virtual payments. These issues didn’t just frustrate travelers—they impacted compliance and productivity.

Key challenges included:

  • Credit card fraud risk from shared or misused physical cards

  • Manual reconciliation between hotel folios and bookings

  • Check-in delays caused by mismatched names on corporate cards

Virtual payments offered a scalable way to reduce risk and streamline workforce lodging operations.

By switching to graspPAY’s virtual card solution, Frontier replaced physical cards with single-use, merchant-restricted virtual cards that:

  • Match the traveler’s name for seamless check-in

  • Limit charges to hotel-specific vendors

  • Enable automated reconciliation tied to each booking

graspPAY was deployed across both corporate and agency bookings, providing flexibility at scale.

The Solution

Near-zero credit card fraud since launch

  • Faster, cleaner reconciliation for finance teams

  • Better traveler experiences with no check-in delays

  • Broad adoption across North America’s remote lodging markets

graspPAY’s configurable controls and fraud prevention features have transformed Frontier’s hotel payment workflows—making them simple, secure, and scalable.
