Airline industry incurs losses of US$1 billion per year from payments made on stolen, compromised or fake credit cards, IATA says

Trip.com has teamed up with Atome to offer buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) options to its customers in Singapore now, and other markets in the Asia-Pacific region next year.

Travellers in Singapore can pay for their flights and accommodation through flexible deferred payments by selecting Atome as a checkout option on Trip.com’s mobile app or website.

The announcement comes as Trip.com continues to expand worldwide with its all-in-one app-first offering.

Edmund Weng, regional director, Trip.com said: “This new regional partnership with Atome is also timely with the year-end holidays coming up and we look forward to making travel more affordable and accessible to even more of our customers in Asia.”

Atome’s regional head of commercial William Yang said the partnership allows the company to “support the post Covid-19 travel recovery boom”.

To celebrate the launch of the partnership, Atome is hosting an online travel fair _Own your Adventure_ from now until November 16.

Atome also recently partnered Klook to expand its BNPL payment options.
