Riskified announced a partnership with Outpayce, a subsidiary of Amadeus, to embed its AI‑powered fraud prevention and chargeback protection into the travel payment platform used by airlines and travel merchants worldwide. The collaboration, announced on April 7, 2026, will allow airlines to approve legitimate transactions in real time while shielding them from fraud and chargebacks.
Under the deal, Riskified’s AI‑driven risk platform will be integrated into Outpayce’s global payment orchestration system, making Riskified the first chargeback guarantee solution available within the Outpayce ecosystem. The partnership will enable airlines to benefit from automated fraud detection, real‑time decisioning, and a guarantee that any fraudulent transaction will be reimbursed, thereby reducing operational costs and improving customer experience.
Strategically, the partnership expands Riskified’s footprint in the travel vertical—a high‑volume, high‑risk market that has seen a 14% increase in flight‑booking risk over the past year. By partnering with Outpayce, Riskified gains access to a broad network of airlines and travel merchants, while Outpayce enhances its payment platform with a proven fraud‑prevention capability. The first merchant to go live with the integration is a major Asia‑Pacific international airline slated for 2026, signaling early traction and potential for rapid adoption across the industry.
Management highlighted the benefits of the collaboration. Vasken Tokatlian, VP Partnerships at Outpayce from Amadeus, stated: “Our innovation‑first collaboration with Riskified is a major step forward in helping airlines combat fraud more effectively. By integrating Riskified into Outpayce's ecosystem we are expanding the choice available to airlines worldwide—equipping them with additional tools to reduce fraud losses, lower operational costs, and seamless, secure payment experiences.” Max Meister Admoni, Global Head of Partnerships at Riskified, commented: “By partnering with Outpayce from Amadeus, we are giving airlines the confidence to grow their business, secure in the knowledge that every transaction is protected from fraud.”
The partnership positions both companies to capture growth in a sector that continues to face sophisticated fraud challenges. For Riskified, the deal opens a new channel for its chargeback guarantee and AI fraud‑prevention services, while for Outpayce it strengthens its value proposition as a fintech enabler within the Amadeus ecosystem, potentially driving higher transaction volumes and deeper market penetration.
