There’s a new app called TravelBank which can make planning business travel a lot easier. The app can calculate trip costs based on factors such as the dates of the trip, destinations, current market prices, and even a company’s travel policies.
It then uses a credit system to encourage people to come in under budget. When they do so they’ll get credits towards things like Uber and Lyft.
Set a goal, track spending and save! It's really that easy. #BusinessTravel https://t.co/i9Bovhrbvc

TravelBank CEO Duke Chung spoke out about the app.
“Once you lose a generation of customers, it’s really hard to rebrand for the next generation, so it’s sort of a race to get to the cooler, hipper business traveler—and then the airlines get the benefit of keeping them as a customer for many decades. Our ability to reach that younger traveler at scale was actually what was most appealing about us to these airlines.”
