Payment processing company DECTA has extended its established partnership with actuary.aero, aiming to enhance risk management in the travel sector.

Merging Data Intelligence for Smarter Risk Management

To support growth in the travel industry, DECTA and actuary.aero intend to use data intelligence to drive more effective risk management. By harnessing actuary.aero’s MPEI platform, DECTA will gain deeper insight into the true risk exposure of deferred delivery transactions, addressing a long-standing challenge for acquirers.

This strategic alliance has been in place for some time and aims to establish a new industry standard for managing the complexities associated with deferred payments. Through their combined capabilities, they plan to balance security with flexibility, enhance trust, and strengthen resilience within the travel payments ecosystem.

Scott Dawson on Improved Risk Management

According to Scott Dawson, UK CEO at DECTA Limited, this collaboration brings greater transparency and data-driven insights to risk management. DECTA uses these insights to better assess credit risks and release funds with confidence. This not only supports merchants in expanding their operations but also offers DECTA more business opportunities.

Livia Vité on Risk Optimization

Speaking about this collaboration, Livia Vité, CEO of actuary.aero, highlights that together they aim to help merchants optimize cash flow, simplify reporting, and reduce risk. This equips them with clearer control over their payment strategies.

In 2025, as more merchants focus on improving payment acceptance and management, with a particular emphasis on fraud prevention, the complexities of managing risks in the travel industry remain significant. In April 2025, Livia Vité discussed these challenges, explaining why a one-size-fits-all approach to risk is ineffective and the importance for airlines, travel agencies, and other deferred delivery merchants to clearly define their risk profiles when working with financial providers.
