“Can a freight booking platform turn every airline shipment into an embedded payments and credit transaction?”
WebCargo began in 2008 as a Spanish air-cargo rate management tool and was acquired by Freightos in 2016 to anchor the group's digital freight booking marketplace. It has since evolved from a rate-management SaaS into an eBooking and payments platform for airlines, ocean carriers, and freight forwarders. The 2025 Visa + Transcard tie-up marks its clearest embedded-finance move: virtual-card rails and working-capital credit injected into the freight transaction itself.
WebCargo processes payments through Transcard and Visa.
WebCargo's cards are issued through Visa (virtual cards via Transcard) on the Visa network.
WebCargo's lending and capital products are provided by Transcard and Visa.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 4 layers in WebCargo's stack: Payments / PSP (Transcard and Visa); Card issuing (Visa (virtual cards via Transcard)); Card network (Visa); Lending (Transcard, Visa and Embedded working capital / flexible credit terms for freight forwarders and airlines (WebCargo by Freightos)).
WebCargo is founded in 2008 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain.
