Adyen, a Dutch company headquartered in Amsterdam, offers 250 payment methods globally via its payments platform.
The tie-up with Cathay lets the airline offer passengers a range of convenient payment methods, regardless of the device used.
“Through our partnership with Adyen, we can now provide an optimal payment experience, regardless of where our passengers are, and the payment methods they prefer,” said Catherine Hornby, manager of digital retail at the airline.
As online shopping becomes more commonplace in Hong Kong, merchants scramble to find easier ways of letting consumers make transactions in a bid to increase online purchases and improve the overall buying experience.
The online shopping boom has also led to a wave of payment solution providers establishing themselves in Hong Kong.
