Crypto.com Pay is available to eligible UAE residents for bookings priced and settled in Emirati Dirham (AED). The launch marks the implementation of a partnership between Crypto.com and Emirates announced in July 2025, when a Memorandum of Understanding was signed to explore the integration of Crypto.com Pay into the airline’s digital payment systems.

How it works

When customers reach the payment step of their booking, Crypto.com Pay appears as a payment option at checkout on emirates.com and the Emirates App:

On mobile: Customers booking through the Emirates App are directed to the Crypto.com app to complete the payment from their wallet, before being redirected back to the Emirates App to receive their booking confirmation and e-ticket.

On desktop: Customers booking on emirates.com should select Crypto.com Pay™ at the payment step, then scan the QR code displayed on the booking page and approve the payment in their Crypto.com app. Once the payment is approved, the booking confirmation and e-ticket are issued on their screen.
