Wizz Air has unveiled a strategic partnership with fintech leader Revolut, offering over 60 million passengers a streamlined, one-click payment solution via its app. Website integration is slated for May. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing the travel experience by cutting out tedious data entry at checkout.
Seamless Transactions And Instant Rewards
Thanks to Revolut Pay, Wizz Air customers no longer need to manually enter their card details when booking flights. Instead, a simple tap on the Revolut Pay option allows passengers to complete their purchase within seconds, with secure payment authorization through a passcode or biometric verification on the Revolut app.

As an added incentive, new Revolut users can earn up to EUR 25 after their first transaction of at least EUR 5. Beyond the convenience of quick payments, Revolut Pay also unlocks the Revolut loyalty program: passengers earn RevPoints that can be redeemed on future purchases, including Wizz Air flights. Until April 4, 2025, those using Revolut Pay enjoy a bonus—earning up to ten times the usual RevPoints, subject to terms and conditions. Notably, Wizz Air has been accepting Revolut card payments for in-flight purchases since last year.
A Strategic Boost For The Airline
Wizz Air, founded in 2003 and now one of Europe’s leading low-cost carriers, operates nearly 800 routes across Europe and beyond. This partnership not only simplifies the booking process but also enhances customer value through exclusive rewards and more cost-effective payment options.
“Partnering with Revolut allows us to offer our customers a more flexible and enhanced experience,” said Ian Malin, Chief Financial Officer at Wizz Air. “With Revolut, passengers not only access the best Wizz Air deals but also earn rewards to spend on future trips and other purchases. This gives our 62 million customers access to cutting-edge fintech solutions, ultimately driving lower air fares.”
Alex Codina, General Manager of Acquiring at Revolut, echoed this sentiment:
“We are excited to have Wizz Air on board as a Revolut Pay partner and to support them in making the customer journey as seamless and secure as possible from start to finish. In an industry where payment processes can be overly complex, our solution streamlines checkout, making travel more effortless for everyone.”
A Glimpse Into The Future Of Travel Payments
With more than 1 million global users of Revolut Pay in 2024 and over 25,000 merchants already onboard, this partnership highlights a broader trend: the future of payment is fast, secure, and frictionless. As Wizz Air and Revolut join forces, they are setting a new benchmark for the travel industry—one where technology and innovation come together to enhance every aspect of the customer experience.
