Leading global fintech Airwallex has announced a new collaboration with Discover® Global Network, enabling Airwallex merchants to accept Discover® and Diners Club International® Cards, and other domestic scheme cards as a payment method, providing greater payment flexibility for businesses and their customers.

Airwallex merchants can now accept Discover® and Diners Club International® Cards across multiple regions including Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. In doing so, businesses may experience reductions in cart abandonment and spikes in customer satisfaction due to an enhanced checkout experience that enables them to pay with their preferred cards.

This integration allows merchants to tap into Discover Global Network’s 345 million cardholders1 across 200+ countries and territories.

“Our collaboration with Discover Global Network reflects our dedication to broadening payment acceptance for businesses worldwide,” said Kai Wu, Chief Revenue Officer, Airwallex. “By enabling Discover and Diners Club International Card transactions, we are providing merchants with more choices to meet their customers’ preferences, ultimately helping them scale internationally and drive growth.”

Through this collaboration, Airwallex aims to streamline the payment experience by equipping businesses with the tools to facilitate transactions via multiple methods. Airwallex now offers more than 160 payment methods for merchants at checkout.

“Discover Global Network is committed to expanding acceptance and providing businesses with access to our growing base of cardholders worldwide,” said Chris Winter, Vice President International Markets, Discover Global Network. “Our collaboration with Airwallex ensures that merchants have the payment solutions needed to engage with a global audience, enhancing their business potential and customer satisfaction.”
