Emirates Integrates Crypto.com Pay for UAE Residents
Emirates has launched Crypto.com Pay as a payment option for eligible UAE residents booking flights on its website or mobile app. The airline partnered with Crypto.com in July 2025 to explore adding the payment service, and it is now live after less than a year of development.
The integration allows customers to select Crypto.com Pay at checkout on emirates.com or through the Emirates App. Transactions are processed through Crypto.com's Dubai entity under UAE regulatory requirements. The rollout supports the Dubai Cashless Strategy, which aims for 90% digital transactions across public and private sectors by 2026.
The service is currently limited to eligible UAE residents making bookings denominated and settled in Emirati dirhams. Emirates did not announce availability for international customers, foreign currencies, or markets outside the UAE.
