WestJet announced that it has adopted Flex Pay – a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) by Upgrade – so that passengers can choose to pay for flights with affordable monthly installments.
Via WestJet’s online booking platform, WestJet travellers can pick Flex Pay payment plans spread over three, six, nine, 11 or 18 months. Financing rates and eligibility vary from customer to customer.
“By choosing Flex Pay, we’re giving travellers more flexibility to book their flights in a way that works best for them,” says Jennifer Bue, Senior Vice President, Treasurer, and Deputy CFO of WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline. “Whether planning a long-awaited trip or a last-minute getaway, WestJet guests can fly with greater confidence and financial ease.”
“Flex Pay’s proven track record of supporting airlines in offering customers more flexibility is a perfect fit with WestJet,” adds Denise Heffron, Managing Director, Commercial of Flex Pay. “We look forward to working closely with WestJet to bring more travellers to the places they love."
The 2017-founded Upgrade is a San Francisco-headquartered financial technology company that specializes in credit, payment and mobile banking products.
