With the introduction of Revolut Pay, Wizz Air passengers will no longer need to enter their card details when purchasing tickets. By selecting Revolut Pay at checkout, customers can complete their transactions within seconds and securely authorize payments via the Revolut app using a passcode or biometric authentication.
As an added incentive, new Revolut users can receive up to EUR 25 after making their first purchase of at least EUR 5 following registration. Additionally, Revolut Pay customers will earn RevPoints through the Revolut loyalty program, which can be redeemed for purchases, including Wizz Air flights. Until April 4, 2025, passengers who pay for their Wizz Air tickets using Revolut Pay can earn up to 10 times the usual amount of RevPoints, subject to terms and conditions. Wizz Air has already accepted Revolut card payments for in-flight purchases since last year.
In 2024, more than 1 million customers globally used Revolut Pay, and over 25,000 merchants accepted payments through the system. This expansion followed the launch of Revolut Terminal, which enables built-in Revolut Pay transactions.
Founded in 2003, Wizz Air has grown into one of Europe’s leading airlines, rapidly expanding its network and playing a key role in increasing competition in the aviation industry. Today, the airline operates nearly 800 routes across Europe and beyond.
Alex Codina, general manager of Acquiring at Revolut, said: “We are so excited to have Wizz Air on board as a Revolut Pay partner and to be supporting them with making the customer journey as seamless and secure as possible from start to finish.”
“Especially in the travel sector, the payment processes can be extremely complex and long. We believe this should not be the case, and partnering with trusted and innovative brands like Wizz Air allows us to keep building the future of payments in the industry together,“ he added.
Wizz Air CFO Ian Malin added: “We’re delighted to have partnered with Revolut as we look to bring even more flexibility and enhanced user experience to our customers. With Revolut, our customers are not only getting the best Wizz Air deals but are able to earn rewards to spend on their future trips and other purchases. This partnership gives 62 million Wizz Air passengers access to Revolut’s disruptive fintech solutions, cheaper payment options and, ultimately, lower air fares.”
