Juspay–Sabre Agreement Targets US$1.2 Trillion Global Online Travel Payments by 2026

Strategic Partnership in Global Travel Payments

Juspay, a global payments technology company serving enterprises and banks, and Sabre Direct Pay, a division of Sabre Corporation, have announced a strategic global agreement to support payment transformation for travel businesses and their customers. The collaboration combines Juspay’s payment orchestration technology with Sabre’s network at a time when online bookings are projected to reach US$1.2 trillion by 2026, accounting for nearly sixty-five per cent of all travel transactions.

The agreement aims to modernise travel payments across markets by focusing on higher conversions, enhanced security, and improved customer experience. Both companies intend to enable travel merchants with scalable and sector-specific capabilities, including access to local payment methods, faster go-to-market options, optimised cross-border payments, checkout solutions, intelligent promotion engines, and simplified reconciliation across multiple sources. As part of the collaboration, Juspay will integrate its tokenisation solution with Sabre Direct Pay to enable secure, efficient payment processing for airlines, hotels, and booking engines without requiring them to handle sensitive card data.

Commenting on the agreement, Sheetal Lalwani, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Juspay, said, “As digital payments evolve, travellers expect fast, secure, and seamless checkout experiences. By partnering with Sabre Direct Pay, we aim to bring smart, scalable payment solutions to the global travel ecosystem, helping businesses unlock new opportunities and deliver superior experiences worldwide.”

Patricio Boccardo, Managing Director at Sabre Payments, said, “Travel payments are the backbone of the entire travel ecosystem. At Sabre, we’re redefining what’s possible by bringing together speed, security, and true global scale. Our agreement with Juspay is an important step in delivering sector-specific orchestration solutions that address the complexities travel companies face every day – from local payment methods and regulatory compliance to multi-currency settlements and instant, secure transactions. We’re building critical infrastructure that empowers agencies, airlines, and suppliers to operate more efficiently and confidently in every market. The industry is choosing Sabre Payments because we deliver higher conversion rates, reduced fraud, and streamlined financial operations.”

Together, Juspay and Sabre aim to strengthen payment flows for travel merchants, enabling them to streamline operations, optimise transaction routing, and deliver secure, seamless payment experiences for travellers worldwide.
