MIAMI BEACH, FL – OneJourney, an embedded payments and automation platform purpose-built for hospitality, travel and mobility, today announced a strategic collaboration with WEX, a global leader in intelligent payment solutions, to power SwiftPay – OneJourney’s proprietary platform designed to help hotel operators modernize supplier payments and corporate spend.

Under the collaboration, OneJourney delivers the hospitality-native digital experience that hotel operators use to manage spend, while WEX serves as the underlying issuing bank and payments engine. WEX will originate the commercial card accounts, extend credit lines, and handle transaction authorization, funding, billing, and servicing. 

Our hotel clients pay suppliers every day, but historically, that spending has been a source of operational friction rather than value. Partnering with WEX gives us the enterprise-grade payment infrastructure to change that at scale. By embedding WEX’s global issuing rails into SwiftPay, we are giving independent and boutique hotel operators a seamless way to convert routine accounts payable into a new source of revenue and automated efficiency.

Brian Dass, Co-Founder and CEO of OneJourney

Independent and boutique hotels typically manage a heavy volume of vendor payments, from technology providers and maintenance services to food and beverage distributors. Today, much of these processes still rely on manual, paper-based processes. SwiftPay converts these existing workflows into automated savings and cashback opportunities using virtual commercial cards, AI-driven invoice matching, automated reconciliation, and transparent reporting, all with zero added cost or risk to the property.

By integrating directly with WEX, OneJourney clients gain access to a commercial payments provider that already powers 50% of all virtual card payments in the travel sector and has processed $237B in total volume across all its business segments in 2025, providing bank-grade security, proven reliability, and international issuing reach.

Managing supplier payments across the travel industry shouldn’t mean juggling separate bank portals, manual checks, and endless reconciliation. Connecting OneJourney directly to WEX’s global issuing network puts virtual cards right into the daily workflow. It makes paying vendors faster and far more secure, while automatically tracking transactions from start to finish.

OneJourney and WEX will continue scaling the program across the U.S. and European hospitality markets throughout the second half of 2026. To learn more about SwiftPay, visit one-journey.com.
