Dubai-based Emirates has announced the launch of Emirates Pay, a new account-based payment method for purchasing air tickets.
Emirates Pay is now available for customers in Germany and the UK who are purchasing tickets via the carrier’s website. It is the world’s first airline to launch this payment alternative powered by a white-label solution jointly developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in partnership with Deutsche Bank, a statement said.

“We’re pleased to be the first airline to roll out this new account-based solution for our customers,” Dubai Media Office quoted Emirates’ chief financial officer Michael Doersam as saying.
“Customers who don’t have a credit card, and those already using direct payments for other purchases, will welcome the simplicity and security of this method when making travel purchases. When it comes to payments solutions, we’ve always kept close to the latest innovations so that we can offer our customers in different markets the most secure and convenient options,” he added.
“We are very proud that Emirates, which is widely recognised as one of the world’s best airlines, is the first airline to implement the new payment solution,” notes Ole Matthiessen, global head of cash management at Deutsche Bank. “The launch of Emirates Pay not only sends a very positive message to all of us that the airline industry is putting Covid behind, but more importantly that Emirates is clearly focused on improving client experience at the transactional level when moving into a brighter, post Covid world.”
Emirates Pay is the world’s first alternative payment solution powered by a white label solution. The solution is based on real-time payments and open banking’ request-to-pay schemes and provides travelers with all the necessary account and payment information through their online or mobile banking.
