Travel Better: Airport Lounge Passes Are on Wise

Yee Won Nyon

Travel is back in a big way, and at Wise, we’re focused on making every part of your journey—not just the spending—as seamless as possible. You already use Wise to avoid hidden fees and get the mid market rate; now, we’re helping you find a little bit of calm before your flight.

We are thrilled to announce that Wise cardholders can now purchase airport lounge passes directly through the Wise app.

Why Buy Lounge Passes Through Wise?

We know the feeling: you’re at the airport, your gate is crowded, the Wi-Fi is spotty, and you just want a comfortable seat and a snack. Usually, that means paying a hefty walk-in fee at a lounge desk or committing to an expensive annual card membership.

We’ve built a better way. Here is why buying through Wise is a game-changer for your next trip:

  • Significant savings: Buying your pass through Wise is cheaper on average than paying for a walk-in entry at the lounge door.¹ We believe premium comfort shouldn't come with a premium markup.
  • Ultimate global flexibility: One pass gives you access to over 1,400 lounges globally. You don’t need to pre-book a specific time or location. Once purchased, your pass is valid for 12 months, giving you total freedom to use it whenever and wherever you choose.
  • Simple, transparent payment: No need to dig for a credit card. Use the balance already in your Wise account to pay directly for a fuss-free experience.
  • Bring the whole crew: Traveling with friends or family? You can easily purchase multiple lounge entries in one go for group entry, ensuring everyone in your party can relax together.

How It Works

This feature is available exclusively to customers who have an active Wise card. Here is how to get started:

  1. Login to Wise and navigate to the "Travel Hub" section in the “Cards” tab.
  2. Purchase your lounge passes using your existing Wise balance.
  3. Show your lounge pass QR code at any participating lounge across 700+ airports worldwide.
  4. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the Wi-Fi, food, and drinks while you wait for your flight.

Building for the Modern Traveler

This launch is another step in our mission to empower travelers with flexible, convenient, and reliable solutions on every trip. Whether it’s holding 40+ currencies, spending like a local with your Wise card, or now, accessing world-class lounges, we are here to make sure your money—and your travel experience—goes further.

Next time you’re heading to the airport, don’t just wait at the gate. Take a seat in the lounge with Wise.
