How trip1 keeps your booking safe

MiCA-licensed payments

CoinGate is licensed under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation by the Bank of Lithuania. That means the processor follows EU rules for security, transparency, and AML checks.

No card data, no wallet custody

trip1 doesn't collect or store card details, and it never sees your wallet keys. You scan a one-time QR code and pay from whichever wallet you choose.

Encrypted end to end

Every page on trip1.com and the CoinGate checkout runs over HTTPS with TLS. Data at rest is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms.

Vetted hotels and dispute mediation

Hotels come from established supply partners with contractual verification. If a booking doesn't go as expected, trip1 mediates between you and the hotel or supplier.
