Payment platform specialists Nuvion and JetPay have teamed up to streamline the payment process for complex international charter and private aviation transactions. Noting that many payment systems take days to move money across borders, the companies are joining efforts on a global financial infrastructure targeting private aviation.
Nuvion is an AI-powered global banking and cross-border payments service, while JetPay (formerly Jet Link) has a purpose-built platform for air charter brokers and private aviation operations. Under the collaboration, JetPay’s customers will be able to access the global financial infrastructure, which includes multi-currency global accounts for aviation operators and brokers; faster international payouts; stablecoin-enabled settlement capabilities for global transactions; financial services integrated directly into aviation workflows; and streamlined payment management across multiple jurisdictions.
The companies noted that as private aviation has become increasingly more global, the complexity around payments, supplier settlements, aircraft operations, and cross-border treasury management has also grown. “A charter flight can be booked in London, operated from Dubai, fueled in Nice, and paid for by a client in New York,” they noted.
“This partnership represents the future of financial infrastructure for modern aviation businesses,” said Nuvion managing director Keisha Clark. “Private aviation is inherently global, yet the financial systems supporting it remain outdated. Together with [JetPay], we’re enabling operators and brokers to move money across borders as seamlessly as they fly.”
