Automated escrow and split payments for secure Tunisian hotel bookings from Europe.
Tunisian hoteliers cannot easily integrate Stripe or PayPal due to strict central bank regulations and high fees, leading to abandoned bookings from European tourists.
HotelDinarFlow holds Euro payments in compliant escrow via local partners until check-in, then releases to TND accounts. It handles splits for agencies/OTAs and provides guarantees to tourists, slashing chargebacks and abandonments. Full audit trail for central bank compliance.
