Revolut to power faster, secure payments on Booking.com

By Vriti Gothi

Revolut has partnered with Booking.com to enable the online travel platform’s customers to pay using Revolut Pay at checkout. The integration brings one-click payments to Booking.com’s global user base and adds another major merchant to Revolut’s expanding payments network.

The partnership introduces Revolut Pay, the FinTech’s streamlined checkout tool, to one of the world’s largest travel platforms at a time when adoption of the service is on the rise. Revolut reports nearly 2 million monthly active users of Revolut Pay, while its broader customer base has surpassed 65 million worldwide. The company estimates around 9 million Revolut users have previously made purchases on Booking.com, signalling strong overlap and a ready base of potential adopters.

For Booking.com, the move aligns with efforts to diversify payment options and improve transaction efficiency across its platform. Customers booking accommodation with flights and car rentals to follow will be redirected to the Revolut app for a one-click, biometrically secured checkout. Both firms frame the collaboration as a means to reduce friction in the travel booking process, a critical focus area as digital travel platforms strive to streamline user journeys and minimise cart abandonment.

“Our strategy at Revolut is about meeting customers where they are,” said Alex Codina, General Manager of Acquiring at Revolut. “Given our customers’ passion for travel and the millions of users on Booking.com, this partnership is a natural fit for us. Integrating Revolut Pay means a faster, more secure, and ultimately more rewarding checkout experience for users.”

JC Rodriguez, Senior Director of Commercial FinTech at Booking.com, said, “The company continues to explore ways to simplify travel transactions. Introducing innovative new solutions to make transacting on our platform fast, secure and flexible for all customers is key to that goal. With Revolut’s strong growth in key European markets, this partnership was a natural fit.”

Revolut is also using the collaboration to deepen engagement in its loyalty ecosystem. Customers paying via Revolut Pay will earn additional RevPoints, the firm’s pan-European debit-card rewards programme. A limited-time promotion offering 10x points underscores Revolut’s strategy to link payments, travel, and loyalty into a unified value proposition.
