SFI/SAFI
Whatever lies ahead, we’re right behind you.
Finding the balance between business growth and maintaining good financial protection for your consumers can be difficult. But if you need to pay suppliers from trust before your customers travel, but you still want to provide adequate financial protection, Supplier Failure Insurance and Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance policies allow this.
The importance of consumer protection.
Ensuring that consumers are protected is the cornerstone of every good travel company. Travel sellers have legal obligations as well as financial considerations when it comes to consumer rights. So every PTS Member can operate in the knowledge that every penny of their customers’ money is protected by our Trust Account and ATOL Protection, and that they are fully compliant with PTR. But there is a gap when paying suppliers prior to travel going ahead where extra financial protection may be necessary, and for this, the SFI and SAFI that PTS provide can cover your customers and business with little hassle.

Why Should Travel Companies Provide Consumer Protection?
Legally, all travel companies, travel agents, and tour operators are required to comply with the Package Travel Regulations to provide consumer protection. This means:
What do SFI and SAFI cover?
SFI and SAFI policies in favour of the Trust Account ensure that payments to suppliers are Package Travel Regulation Compliant. You will need Supplier Failure Insurance (SFI) if you need monies released from trust to pay a supplier before the consumer’s holiday begins. Money won’t be released from the PTS trust without SFI to ensure the consumer monies are always protected. You will need Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance (SAFI) if you need monies released from trust to pay an airline in advance of the consumer’s holiday.
