Using Revolut Pay as a payment method at checkout means customers can purchase their Booking.com accommodation, with flights and cars to follow, swiftly and securely.

Revolut has announced a new global payments partnership with Booking.com. Expanding Revolut’s innovative travel offering for customers, Booking.com customers can now pay via Revolut Pay, Revolut’s streamlined one-click checkout solution, and benefit from a range of currencies.

This partnership is a natural fit given the customer overlap between businesses, with approximately 9 million customers from Revolut’s global user base already having made purchases on Booking.com. It marks a further commitment from Revolut to the travel industry.

At the point of payment, customers are redirected seamlessly from the Booking.com platform to pay in just one click through the Revolut app, streamlining the booking process and protecting purchase through Revolut’s built-in biometric security.

As an exclusive benefit, those paying with Revolut Pay earn extra RevPoints on all purchases. 

RevPoints is the first pan-European debit loyalty card programme, and points can be redeemed at thousands of merchants when checking out with Revolut Pay, including Booking.com, as well as other benefits such as airline miles, hotel stays, gift cards, experiences, and more, all within the Revolut app. 

“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.”
