EWA Contractor Services
Why is EWA Travel so unique that a significant portion of the NGO community has selected EWA as their travel management company? See Testimonials. We believe our greatest strengths are our highly talented and experienced management staff coupled with our international travel counselors (averaging 23 years’ experience). Please note our Staff page for their brief bios. We also believe that our mid-size corporate structure, with a flat organizational structure, allows for total team focus to service each of our very valued clients. Our EWA creed sums up our commitment to you: “Service is delivering what we promise and quality is doing it right the first time.”

Our reporting and accounting services are designed to make it easy for you to check online (iBank) or offline (Trams) your travelers’ status, compliance with policies and other reports that you may require. We are real cost “sticklers” and work very hard to save your organization as much money as possible.
Association Travel Services
EWA Travel understands that most Associations have special travel requirements that include more than employee travel but also travel for its members, board of directors, speakers and other guest travel. We have the essential experience and personnel to address and leverage all of these various types of travel to ensure cost and time savings as well as quality control and management. Since 1976, EWA Travel has worked with hundreds of associations to provide outstanding travel services.
iBANK
EWA Travel is a licensee of iBank, the industry's premiere Travel Management Reporting Tool. iBank, a web enabled application from Cornerstone Information Systems, is a dynamic, secure, password-protected online reporting system. Once registered, users can view, print and share reports of travel purchases. iBank has both detailed and summary reports focusing on air, hotel, car, and professional consulting fee transactions. And best of all, it's free. EWA Travel's corporate client accounts enjoy unlimited use of iBank at no charge. For usability, convenience, and flexibility, no other online reporting tool comes close.
With iBank, you have instant access to your company’s vital travel information and data available on 24/7 basis. iBank is an Internet based system which gives you direct online access. You will receive a unique User ID and Password to protect your data for your use only. To access iBank, go to the our web site and type your User ID and Password in the boxes available, then click on Enter. iBank uses our Sabre Reservation System to gather bookings and then sends this information via the internet to the secure iBank server. Once the data is received by the iBank server, the information is loaded and immediately available for up to the minute reporting from around the world twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
iBank provides reporting and services to actively track and view spend by vendor to manage current preferred air, car, or hotel travel to assist in reducing and controlling costs. In policy / risk management, the contractor is able to produce reports that indicate what exceptions to travel policies were made and if risks played a part in the reason for the exceptions (with people concerns being the primary motive).
In addition to the online iBank reporting and travel management system, EWA makes available to its clients a wide variety of customized reports prepared by EWA using the TRAMS Report System. Virtually any type of travel report using TRAMS can be accomplished by our helpful back office personnel. These reports normally are issued monthly (within one week after the end of the month) but can be issued for any period you wish, and can be customized to the format and type of most beneficial to your organization. The reports are up-to-the-minute and accurate.
