UATP to Offer Pay in 4 With PayPal for Airfare Purchases Across its Airline PartnersTravelers receive the benefit of splitting their purchase into four equal payments with the same purchase protection expected with a PayPal purchase WASHINGTON, April 14, 2021

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.
