WASHINGTON and MENLO PARK, Calif., March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- UATP and Uplift
are pleased to announce their collaboration to provide installment
payments for travelers. The UATP-Uplift partnership enables travel
partners to deploy installment payments directly in their online
booking flow while transacting across the UATP network.
"Flexible payments are a proven way to increase conversion and
drive new revenue. Together, we wanted to make flexible
payments simple and easy to implement," said Brian Barth, CEO and founder, Uplift. "Uplift
and UATP are collaborating to enable a seamless and transparent
implementation of Uplift Pay Monthly on the UATP network -
delivering instant ROI."
Through UATP's Network, Uplift is working with the world's
largest airlines and travel companies to leverage payments as a
marketing tool that boosts conversion and increases ancillary
revenues. Uplift allows airlines to offer travelers the
ability to buy now and pay over time, with low, fixed monthly
payments, clarity on the total cost, only a one-day advance
purchase and no hidden fees. With Uplift, customers are able
to lock-in advance purchase fares for that once in a lifetime trip
or a hard-earned family vacation while paying over
time. Uplift's travel-specific business model supports the
airline's direct to consumer distribution strategies by never
re-marketing to passengers.
"Through this partnership with Uplift, UATP's Network airlines
will be able to access high-value audiences and grow sales
revenue," said Ralph Kaiser,
president and CEO, UATP. "Uplift is 100% focused on travel and sets
the standard for travel installment payments. We take great pride
in working together."
