Corporate Traveller and Float Financial have announced a new partnership aimed at simplifying the management of travel payments and expenses for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The integration links Corporate Traveller’s booking platform with Float’s payment cards, automatically matching travel bookings and payments, according to a press release.
Expenses are then coded and pushed directly into a company’s finance system, removing the need for manual reconciliation or receipt collection.

“Business travel demand is growing and so is the pressure on finance teams to track spend accurately and efficiently,” said Chris Lynes, managing director at Flight Centre Travel Group, parent company of Corporate Traveller.
“Now, with the integration of Float, we're delivering a uniquely Canadian, modern solution that combines seamless booking with automated payment and expense management.”
According to a recent Corporate Traveller survey conducted by YouGov, 40% of Canadian SMEs are spending more on business travel this year, highlighting the need for streamlined solutions.

“It’s part of our broader vision to fully automate transactions across our platform and save companies thousands of hours.”
