Vietnam Airlines Expands Partnership With Adyen

Adyen, the financial technology platform of choice for leading companies, today announced an expanded partnership with Vietnam Airlines, Vietnam’s flag carrier. The airline partnered with Adyen in 2017 for its gateway solution and in 2024, expanded the partnership to leverage Adyen’s global acquiring capabilities, enabling seamless payment experiences in markets like Japan, Australia, the U.S., and Europe, among others.

The single integration with Adyen allows faster, more reliable transactions in credit cards and selected local payment methods like Alipay and WeChat Pay. Adyen’s acquiring capabilities connect businesses directly to Visa and Mastercard card schemes, helping the airline benefit from local market conditions and generate higher authorization rates and lower transaction fees. Since the expansion of partnership, Vietnam Airlines has seen up to a 5% uplift in authorization rates.

“Our strengthened partnership with Adyen represents a significant step forward in Vietnam Airlines’ digital transformation. With Adyen’s global reach and advanced payment solutions, we can offer travelers around the world a smooth, secure, and flexible payment experience—supporting major card networks and emerging payment methods alike. This collaboration enables us to elevate the passenger journey while boosting operational efficiency and fostering innovation,” said Bui Tran Cuong, Deputy Director of Finance and Accounting, Vietnam Airlines.
