SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Uplift, the
leading enterprise Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution serving the
world's top travel brands, and KAYAK, the world's leading travel
search engine, have deepened their partnership to provide travelers
with greater payment flexibility when booking travel on KAYAK.
Expanding on Uplift's existing payment options, starting this fall,
KAYAK users will have the added benefit of paying in interest-free
monthly installments on select flights through the end of the
year.
Travelers will enjoy even greater payment flexibility with
interest-free installment options for a limited time.
As BNPL becomes a bigger part of the mainstream payment option
for travel purchases, KAYAK will expand its Uplift offering from
desktop only to the mobile web and app booking experience. Now,
travelers will enjoy even greater payment flexibility with
interest-free installment options available for a limited time, a
lower minimum transaction amount of just $100, and $0 down
at booking.
"Buy Now, Pay Later opens up more opportunities for travelers to
sign up for a payment plan and get a trip on the books now," said
Steve Sintra, GM and VP of KAYAK.
"By giving travelers more flexibility with their payment options,
they can now book that bucket list trip we all need in small
installments on KAYAK."
KAYAK compares hundreds of flight, stay and car options in one
place to help travelers find the best deal. The site also offers
budget-friendly product features like Price Forecast (so you know
when it's least expensive to book), Price Alerts (so you never miss
a good deal) and Explore (so you know where to go within your
budget).
Uplift's monthly payments are available across many of KAYAK's
leading airline partners.
Interest-free installments will be available for a limited time
on select airline partners across all KAYAK booking channels
including mobile app and mobile web. Customers will see the total
cost of their trip at the time of booking along with the
interest-free monthly payment amount, making it easy to budget for
and experience the vacation they deserve. There are no late fees or
prepayment penalties and customers can travel even before they are
finished making their payments.
"We are honored to have partnered with KAYAK and are excited to
expand our relationship further," said Tom
Botts, Chief Commercial Officer for Uplift. "With the
addition of interest-free installments, KAYAK customers can feel
even more confident about their decision to book now and pay over
time."
Uplift partners with more than 200 of the world's leading
airlines, cruise lines, resorts, and other major travel brands to
offer BNPL payment options that help people make meaningful
purchases and get the most out of their travel experiences.
