How trip1 keeps your booking safe

MiCA-licensed payments

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

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.
