Furlpay vs Booking.com
Booking.com is the world's largest fiat OTA. Furlpay lets you book 2.2M+ stays and pay in USDC on Arbitrum — with on-chain receipts, a single-use Visa card for merchants that only take cards, and a creator program that pays up to 10% in USDC weekly.
Booking.com is a fiat online travel agency — it does not settle bookings in crypto. Furlpay lets you book 2.2M+ stays and flights and pay in USDC on Arbitrum, returns an on-chain receipt for every booking, and issues a single-use Visa virtual card for any property that only accepts cards — so you can spend stablecoins on effectively any stay while creators earn up to 10% in USDC, paid weekly.

The differences that matter
Spend stablecoins on almost any stay
Booking.com bills in local fiat. Furlpay settles bookings in USDC, and for any property that only takes cards it issues a single-use, MCC-locked Visa virtual card funded by your USDC — so your stablecoins reach merchants that have no crypto integration at all.
On-chain receipts for expenses
Every Furlpay booking produces an Arbiscan-verifiable receipt. For business travelers and finance teams that means reconciliation and reimbursement without waiting on a statement or disputing black-box attribution.
A creator program, not just an affiliate link
Booking.com's affiliate commissions are a slice of its own cut, paid in fiat after a wait. Furlpay pays travel creators up to 10% in USDC weekly with no minimum payout, plus 2% USDC cashback for their followers.
Agentic booking
An AI agent can search Furlpay inventory and pay per resource over x402 within a user-signed budget — an early, working example of agentic commerce that a traditional OTA checkout does not offer.
