To Become an IATA Travel Agent for Bangladesh? There are 3 types of the category if you want to be an IATA travel agent in Bangladesh.

1.GoLite Agent

The GoLite accreditation option allows agents to transact with airlines through IATA’s BSP exclusively using the IATA EasyPay and Card forms of payment. And since there’s no Cash facility (deferred payments), GoLite agents can benefit from IATA accreditation with fewer financial requirements.GoLite Accreditation is simpler than other options.

First, there is no minimum financial security. In addition, agents under this model are not subject to annual financial reviews and don’t have to submit audited financial statements to IATA. This can bring substantial cost savings for smaller agents. If you are interested in becoming a GoLite agent, apply through IATA’s Customer Portal.

2. GoStandard Agent

GoStandard accreditation is based on traditional IATA accreditation. This model allows agents to be accredited in a Billing Settlement Plan (BSP) with access to all payment methods, including BSP Cash and BSP Card. In addition to these, GoStandard agents are now able to use a virtual wallet solution called IATA EasyPay. GoStandard agents continue to be subject to the local financial criteria and those requirements applicable in the BSP market of their accreditation. However, with the implementation of NewGen ISS, a new risk management framework applies. Importantly, as part of this new risk management framework, all GoStandard agents are assigned a Remittance Holding Capacity (RHC) – a monetary threshold for an agent’s outstanding Cash sales to the BSP. The RHC is intended to create a safer selling environment and will be calculated with sufficient room for a year over year growth so that the majority of agents are unlikely to reach their respective thresholds. In the event that the RHC is reached, agents are able to continue issuing tickets using IATA EasyPay and BSP Card.

3. GoGlobal Agent

GoGlobal accreditation offers a one-stop-shop for large, international travel agencies, allowing them to maintain a single accreditation for all the Billing Settlement Plans (BSPs) in which they participate. This accreditation option delivers significant operational efficiencies for multi-country agencies by enabling them to streamline their accreditation processes and to comply with a single set of global financial requirements. GoGlobal-accredited agents have access to all available payment methods: BSP Cash, BSP Card and IATA EasyPay, a new e-wallet solution for agents.

Under GoGlobal accreditation, the entire agent group is subject to global financial criteria, established in Resolution 812. This includes a quarterly financial review of the parent entity under the Multi-Country Assessment Framework. The parent also takes on full legal and financial responsibility for the agency group. If the agent fails the quarterly review, the parent is required to provide the financial security covering the sales at risk for all of the group’s locations.
