Affirm and KAYAK are expanding a U.S. partnership north of the border, the two organizations revealed this month.
Since 2023, fintech Affirm has been integrated into the U.S. website for KAYAK, a travel search engine.
Moving forward, that integration is now present on KAYAK’s Canadian website as well.
“This expansion with KAYAK is a natural next step for our long-standing partnership as we look to offer even more travellers peace of mind when paying for their next trip using Affirm,” stated Wayne Pommen, Chief Revenue Officer of Affirm.
By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved KAYAK travellers in Canada can split the total cost of flights, accommodations, and car rentals into monthly payments via customized plan without late or hidden fees.
“Consumers are increasingly turning to Affirm when booking their flights, hotels, rides, and more as flexible payment options remain a top priority for travellers across Canada,” says Pommen.
Over 350,000 merchants now offer Affirm at checkout worldwide, including Amazon, Apple, Adyen, RONA, and Ottawa’s Shopify.
“Our partnership with Affirm opens up possibilities for travellers who are looking for more flexibility in their payment options,” stated Paul Jacobs, general manager of KAYAK in North America. “With international flight prices averaging $1,2701, travellers can plan and pay for those bucket list trips over time, without any hidden fees.”
Founded in 2012 by San Francisco entrepreneur Max Levchin, Affirm trades publicly as AFRM since 2021.
KAYAK was founded in 2004 as by Steve Hafner and Paul English as the Travel Search Company.
