Klarna has announced a new partnership with Minor Hotels that will allow travelers across Europe to use flexible payment options when booking hotel stays online.
The agreement launches ahead of the summer holiday season and introduces Klarna’s payment solutions across Minor Hotels’ portfolio in 13 European markets.
Flexible Payment Options Added For Hotel Guests
Guests booking directly through Minor Hotels platforms can now choose between paying in full at checkout or splitting the cost into three interest-free installments using Klarna. The companies said the partnership is designed to provide travelers with greater financial flexibility when planning vacations and larger travel purchases.
The rollout covers Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Finland and Ireland.
Raji Behal, Head of Southern and Western Europe, UK and Ireland at Klarna, said the partnership aims to simplify the travel booking process.
“Our partnership with Minor Hotels means guests can focus on the excitement of planning their trip, with payment options that fit around them,” Behal said.
