United Airlines teams up with financing firm Uplift
Point-of-sale financing company firm Uplift has inked a partnership with United Airlines offering customers a credit facility to spread their travel costs over several months.
Using Uplift Pay Monthly, travelers can finance their trip with payments over 11 months.
It is available for bookings across United’s entire network of 350-plus cities.
"Our mission is to make travel more accessible, affordable and rewarding for everyone. Travel has become a fundamental part of our lives and consumers today demand more flexibility," said Uplift CEO Brian Barth.
Uplift Pay Monthly integrates into United.com’s existing payment ecosystem, using existing rails which are already set up with UATP, the global airline industry payment platform.
United first began using Uplift Pay Monthly in 2017 for United Vacations bookings and customer feedback has been positive," says Praveen Sharma, United’s VP of digital products and analytics.
Uplift says it is the first financing company of its kind exclusively focused on travel and was purpose built for the travel industry.
The Uplift Pay Monthly option is also offered by multiple top tier travel brands such as Kayak, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Universal Studios.
