Introduction: Your Payments Should Work as Hard as Your Aircraft

If you work in aviation, aerospace, or defense, you already know your payments are nothing like a simple retail swipe. You are moving high‑value parts, managing complex maintenance events, and dealing with government programs, all while trying to keep aircraft flying and cash flowing. AerospacePay was created specifically for that world.

Backed by over a quarter century of aerospace and defense experience and more than 20 years in finance and investment banking, AerospacePay is the premier merchant services provider for this industry, helping companies save up to 40% compared to traditional processors.

What Is AerospacePay and Who Is It For?

AerospacePay is a specialized merchant services and payment gateway platform dedicated to the aviation, aerospace, and defense ecosystem. Instead of trying to be “everything to everyone,” it focuses on the types of payments you handle every day: high‑dollar B2B and B2G transactions, government card payments, and cross‑border invoicing.

It is built for organizations such as:

  • FBOs and fuel providers handling contract fuel, hangar, and handling charges.​
  • MROs, repair stations, and OEMs working on heavy checks, engine overhauls, and complex repair orders.
  • Airlines, travel agencies, and charter operators selling high‑value tickets and ancillaries.​
  • Aerospace manufacturers, distributors, and brokers managing large B2B sales.
  • Defense contractors and government suppliers processing IMPAC and GSA card payments and B2G invoices.

Whether you operate in the USA, Canada, the UK, or across the EU, AerospacePay is designed to support your regional and international payment flows.

Why Traditional Payment Processors Don’t Fit Aviation and Aerospace

Most processors are built for retail, restaurants, or generic e‑commerce. That’s a different universe from selling a six‑figure engine, closing a last‑minute charter, or reconciling a multi‑line MRO invoice for a European airline.

Common issues your team may recognize include:

  • One‑size‑fits‑all pricing: Flat or blended rates that ignore the potential savings on properly qualified B2B transactions.
  • Limited support for government cards: Many providers are uncomfortable with IMPAC and GSA, or don’t understand the data needed for compliance and favorable pricing.
  • Manual reconciliation pain: Payment data sits in a silo, forcing your staff to re‑enter transactions into MRO, FBO, or ERP systems.
  • Risk flags on high‑dollar tickets: Standard fraud tools can over‑decline legitimate premium and international transactions.

AerospacePay exists because the team behind it saw this gap first‑hand and set out to build “payment rails” designed for aerospace and defense, not coffee shops.

How AerospacePay Actually Lowers Costs

You might be wondering: “Everyone says they can save us money. How is this different?” That is a fair question.

AerospacePay’s savings are driven mainly by how its gateway and backend process each transaction. The platform packages and transmits specific enhanced data points—such as line‑item and Level II/III data—allowing many B2B and B2G transactions to qualify for lower interchange categories. This can lead to savings of around 32% on processing costs for existing aerospace and defense clients, with some merchants reaching up to 40% depending on ticket size and mix.

In practical terms, that means:

  • Better pricing on high‑ticket B2B invoices.
  • More favorable treatment for government card transactions.
  • Reduced fraud exposure thanks to richer data and more precise risk rules.

AerospacePay also offers free cost‑analysis comparisons, so you can see side‑by‑side what you are paying today versus what optimized aerospace‑specific processing could look like.

Designed Around Your Day‑to‑Day: FBOs, MROs, Airlines, and Brokers

Instead of forcing everyone into the same mold, AerospacePay recognizes the different roles within the industry and supports them accordingly.

For FBOs and GA operations
FBOs live on quick turns and relationship‑driven business. You need to take payments at the counter, on the ramp, and sometimes remotely. AerospacePay can connect to retail hardware and software for on‑site transactions while supporting electronic invoicing and account billing for contract fuel and fleet customers.

For MROs and FAA repair stations
Repair stations juggle documentation, compliance, and tight release timelines. AerospacePay supports structured invoices for complex jobs, offers clear digital transaction histories, and makes it easier to export clean data for audits and internal reviews.

For airlines, travel agencies, and charter brokers
In the airline and travel space, you deal with large volumes of bookings, ancillaries, and refunds. AerospacePay is designed to handle high‑volume, high‑value card transactions, including seat upgrades, inflight entertainment purchases, and corporate travel payments, while helping reduce the hidden costs that often accompany airline distribution.

For aerospace manufacturers, distributors, and brokers
If you are selling engines, rotables, or critical components, many payments are large, infrequent, and highly scrutinized. AerospacePay supports secure payment links, B2B invoicing, and robust reporting so you and your customers have clear visibility into every transaction.

Security, Compliance, and Government Cards

When you operate in aerospace and defense, the stakes are high—not just for operations, but for compliance and data security. AerospacePay is built with this reality front and center.

The platform:

  • Adheres to leading standards for safeguarding cardholder data, protecting information in transit and at rest.
  • Uses real‑time, AI‑driven tools to detect suspicious activity, which is especially important for high‑value, high‑risk payments.
  • Handles government cards (IMPAC and GSA) with specific expertise, understanding the rules and data requirements for efficient, compliant B2G processing.
  • Supports programs such as Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), streamlining how you get paid on government contracts.​

For CFOs, payment managers, and controllers, this combination means fewer sleepless nights over fraud, chargebacks, or audit findings.

Tools Your Finance Team Will Actually Use

A great rate is only half the story; the other half is giving your finance team tools that reduce manual work. AerospacePay offers robust reporting, analytics, and integrations to make that happen.

Key capabilities include:

  • Robust reporting and analytics: See trends in approvals, declines, chargebacks, and fees across business units and regions.
  • Electronic invoicing and recurring billing: Ideal for contract maintenance, parts programs, or managed services.
  • Multiple currencies: Support cross‑border sales in North America and Europe without losing visibility or control.
  • QuickBooks and SAP sync: Reduce duplicate entry and speed up reconciliation by pushing payment data into your ERP or accounting systems.

In short, AerospacePay is built for the people who live in the general ledger every day, not just for the sales team closing the deal.

USA, Canada, UK & EU

Aircraft rarely stay within one border, and neither do your payments. AerospacePay supports operations across the USA, Canada, the UK, and EU markets so you can keep a unified approach while respecting local realities.

That means:

  • Supporting multi‑currency transaction flows for international customers.
  • Working within local banking and card‑scheme frameworks to avoid unnecessary costs or delays.
  • Providing a consistent set of tools, dashboards, and reports so your global finance team is looking at a single source of truth.

For global FBO networks, cross‑border MROs, or manufacturers selling into multiple regions, this consistency can be just as valuable as raw cost savings.

1. What makes AerospacePay different from other payment processors?

AerospacePay is focused solely on aviation, aerospace, and defense, rather than trying to cover every industry. The team behind it brings decades of experience in your space, and the platform is built to handle B2B and B2G payments, government cards, and high‑ticket transactions that generic providers often treat as “edge cases.”

2. How much can my company actually save?

Savings vary by customer, but current aerospace and defense clients are seeing around 32% savings on processing costs, with an upper range near 40% in some situations. Those savings come from better interchange qualification, data‑driven routing, and industry‑specific program design, not from cutting corners on security or service.

3. Does AerospacePay support both card payments and invoicing?

Yes. You can accept card payments through payment gateways, virtual terminals, and on‑site hardware, and you can also send electronic invoices, set up recurring billing, and support B2B and B2G payment flows. This flexibility is critical when you serve everything from individual pilots to large OEMs and government agencies.

4. Is AerospacePay a fit for small or mid‑size aerospace businesses?

Absolutely. While AerospacePay can support large enterprises, it is intentionally designed to serve small and mid‑size FBOs, MROs, repair stations, distributors, and brokers who want enterprise‑grade tools without enterprise‑grade complexity. If you are processing high‑value transactions or working with B2B/B2G customers, you are in the sweet spot for this platform.

5. How do we get started with AerospacePay?

Getting started usually begins with a conversation and a cost analysis. AerospacePay offers a complimentary review of your current statements, then compares your true effective rate with what a tailored aerospace and defense program could deliver. From there, the team designs a solution that matches your business model, integrates with your existing systems, and provides onboarding support for your staff.

Give Your Finances a “Financial Wingman”

Your aircraft, parts, and services are highly engineered; your payments should be too. AerospacePay gives aviation, aerospace, and defense organizations a financial “wingman” focused on B2B and B2G payments, government cards, and high‑value transactions across the USA, Canada, the UK, and EU.

With industry‑specific pricing, robust analytics, tight security, and real‑world expertise behind it, AerospacePay helps you keep more of every dollar you earn—so you can invest it back into what you do best: keeping the world flying.
