Juspay, a payments technology company headquartered in Singapore and Dubai, has expanded its partnership with Wego, the largest online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa ( MENA ), to support Wego’s continued growth across the Middle East.
Through Juspay's payment orchestration platform, Wego can connect with more than 300 payment service providers ( PSPs ) and acquirers globally, allowing it to introduce local payment methods without having to build individual integrations market by market.
Payment preferences can vary significantly between markets, from debit and credit cards to digital wallets and other locally preferred methods.
Through its partnership with Juspay, Wego can bring new payment partners on board more efficiently, expand the range of payment options available to travellers, and develop checkout journeys tailored to individual markets.
Since partnering with Juspay, Wego has strengthened payment performance across its platform, with improved authorization rates supported by intelligent transaction routing, 3D Secure optimization, and automated retries.
These capabilities help route transactions more effectively, recover eligible failed payments, and provide greater visibility into payment issues through unified error mapping, enabling faster resolution across providers.
Evolving client needs
Alexandre Morin, director of payments, risk and fintech at Wego, comments: “Wego has built its leadership in MENA by understanding how travellers across the region search, compare, and book travel, and by continuously adapting our platform to their evolving needs.
“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 while maintaining a simple and reliable booking journey. This is part of our broader commitment to using technology and local market insight to make travel easier and more accessible for our users.”
The two companies will build on the partnership by exploring payment solutions tailored to Wego’s evolving business and customer needs.
Nakul Kothari, head of APAC and the Middle East at Juspay, adds: “Travel payments need to work reliably across markets where customer preferences and payment infrastructure can vary significantly. Wego’s scale and deep understanding of travellers across the Middle East make this an important partnership for us. By combining that regional expertise with our payment orchestration technology, we can help Wego adapt to local payment ecosystems while supporting a consistent experience as the business continues to grow.”
