Juspay, a global payments technology company, has announced an expansion of its partnership with Wego, the largest online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This collaboration aims to bolster Wego's growth by integrating local payment service providers and methods, ensuring travellers can use familiar payment options.
Wego, known for its comprehensive travel platform, allows users to compare and book flights and hotels from numerous airlines and agencies. As the company expands its reach across MENA, the partnership with Juspay is pivotal in adapting to the varied payment preferences in the region, from credit cards to digital wallets.
The collaboration leverages Juspay's payment orchestration capabilities, enabling Wego to efficiently onboard new payment partners and tailor checkout experiences to individual markets. This approach has already improved Wego's payment performance, enhancing authorisation rates and transaction routing.
Alexandre Morin, Director of Payments at Wego, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, “As we scale across markets with different payment behaviours, our partnership with Juspay gives us the flexibility to offer more locally relevant ways to pay whilst maintaining a simple and reliable booking journey.”
Nakul Kothari, Head of APAC & Middle East at Juspay, emphasised the significance of reliable payment systems across diverse markets, noting, “By combining that regional expertise with our payment orchestration technology, we can help Wego adapt to local payment ecosystems whilst supporting a consistent experience as the business continues to grow.”
As Wego continues its regional and global expansion, the partnership with Juspay will explore new payment solutions to meet evolving business and customer needs. This strategic alliance aims to make travel booking more seamless and locally relevant for MENA travellers.
