WASHINGTON, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — UATP announced today it is broadening its work with PayPal to include Pay in 4 as an option for airfare purchased via UATP Merchant Airlines. With Pay in 4 from PayPal, customers pay for their purchases in four interest-free payments and merchants get paid up front.*
“The buy now, pay later (BNPL) product has become increasingly popular for travelers,” said Ralph Kaiser, president and CEO, UATP. “The PayPal-UATP relationship has 15 years of demonstrated success and we expect that to continue with Pay in 4.”
Pay in 4 is an interest-free, short-term pay later solution that can be used for qualifying purchases of $30–$600. Customers who select Pay in 4 pay for their purchase in four payments every two weeks over six weeks, with the first payment due at purchase. Now that PayPal offers its Pay in 4 checkouts on airfare, travelers can tap into it via the merchant’s UATP connection – spreading out their purchase with clear, predictable payments.
