1. An intermediary transaction processing server (ITPS) comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform processes comprising:
receiving, via a network, a copy of a third-party data batch file, the batch file containing transaction data for a plurality of transactions, the transaction data comprising specific information regarding the delivery of passengers or goods (cargo) and specific information regarding payments collected by the third-party, the payments for the transport of passengers or goods (cargo);
identifying collected payment information, for the payments collected by the third-party, from the received copy of the batch file;
processing the batch file such that an airline computing system or an another computing system is enabled to collect payment funding from a settlement service provider (SSP) computing system for transactions contained in the batch file without the airline computing system or the another computing system having been configured to make a request instruction seeking collected payment funding from the SSP computing system for transactions contained in the batch file, and
sending identified collected payment information from the received copy of the batch file to a settlement service provider (SSP) gateway, the gateway providing the collected payment information to the SSP computing system, the SSP computing system using the collected payment information to provide funding to an airline computing system or an another computing system account without the airline computing system or the another computing system having been configured to make a request instruction seeking collected payment funding from the SSP computing system for transactions contained in the batch file.
