Juspay 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 region.
As Wego enters new markets, Juspay is helping it integrate local payment service providers, acquirers, banks and local payment methods more quickly. The aim is to let travellers check out using payment options they already know.
Payment preferences vary significantly between markets, from cards to digital wallets and other locally preferred methods.
Through the partnership, Wego can bring new payment partners on board more efficiently. The company can aslo expand the payment options available to travellers, and tailor checkout journeys to individual markets.
The collaboration combines Wego’s understanding of MENA travellers and local market dynamics with Juspay’s payment orchestration capabilities.
Since partnering with Juspay, Wego has strengthened payment performance across its platform.
Improved authorisation rates, supported by intelligent transaction routing, 3D Secure optimisation and automated retries, help route transactions more effectively and recover eligible failed payments.
Unified error mapping also gives Wego greater visibility into payment issues, enabling faster resolution across providers.
Alexandre Morin, Director of Payments, Risk & Fintech at Wego, said the company has built its leadership in MENA by understanding how travellers across the region search, compare and book travel.
He added that Wego continuously adapts its platform to their evolving needs.
As Wego scales across markets with different payment behaviours, its partnership with Juspay gives it flexibility, he said.
This lets the company offer more locally relevant ways to pay while maintaining a simple and reliable booking journey.
Wego continues to expand across the region and globally. The two companies plan to build on the partnership by exploring payment solutions tailored to Wego’s evolving business and customer needs.

“Travel payments need to work reliably across markets where customer preferences and payment infrastructure can vary significantly,” said Nakul Kothari, Head of APAC & Middle East at Juspay.
“Wego’s scale and deep understanding of travellers across the Middle East make this an important partnership for us.”
Through Juspay’s payment orchestration layer, Wego can connect with more than 300 payment service providers and acquirers globally.
It does this without building separate integrations for each one.
Juspay’s global infrastructure processes more than 300 million transactions daily.
The company also exceeds US$1 trillion in annualised total payment volume, with 99.999% uptime.
