Checkout.com, a leading global digital payments company, recently announced its partnership with digital travel platform Agoda. The partnership delivers high-performance digital payments infrastructure that supports Agoda’s mission of bridging the world through travel.
Agoda connects travellers to over six million hotels and holiday properties worldwide as well as with flights, activities, and other travel experiences.
To deliver travel experiences at this scale, Agoda relies on payments that perform reliably across markets, currencies, and peak demand periods. Through its partnership with Checkout.com, Agoda strengthens its virtual card issuing capabilities, ensuring travellers can complete bookings smoothly while suppliers are paid without disruption.
A key driver of Agoda’s increased performance has been Intelligent Acceptance, Checkout.com’s proprietary AI solution that uses real-time network data to optimise each transaction. By intelligently routing payments and applying performance-enhancing adjustments, Intelligent Acceptance reduces failed transactions and improves approval rates. Combined with Network Tokens and Real-Time Account Updater, these enhancements help reduce false declines across complex payment flows common in global travel, including cross-border, multi-currency, and high-volume transactions.
Agoda and Checkout.com also partner on virtual card issuing to power payments to travel suppliers. Supplier payments are processed reliably at scale keeping the travel ecosystem running smoothly behind the scenes. Through a single connected platform, Agoda maintains clear oversight and control across its issuing operations.
