Accommodations available in simple payments, with no hidden or late fees

SAN FRANCISCO: Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, today announced a partnership with Hotels.com. Now, approved guests can book accommodations and pay over time with Affirm, helping more people book the trip of their dreams. This builds on Affirm and Expedia Group’s existing partnership, where Affirm is the exclusive buy now pay later provider on Expedia and Vrbo.

By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved Hotels.com guests can split the total cost of their purchase into budget-friendly payments. They are shown the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to upfront, as Affirm never charges customers any late or hidden fees.

“We are delighted to advance our partnership with Affirm and Hotels.com. This expanded collaboration offers travelers greater payment flexibility when booking their dream stays,” said Clayton Nelson, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships & Affiliates, Expedia Group. “It emphasizes our dedication to enhancing the travel experience with innovative technologies, empowering our partners to offer exceptional service to their customers.”

“Expanding our long-standing Expedia Group partnership to Hotels.com is a significant milestone in our shared journey to bring increased payment flexibility to travelers,” said Pat Suh, Affirm’s SVP of Revenue. “It builds upon the success Expedia Group and Affirm have achieved since 2016, and creates a frictionless experience to meet consumer demand for pay-over-time options in lodging.”

Hotels.com joins 292,000 Affirm retail partners, including Amazon, Casper, Newegg, SeatGeek, Royal Caribbean, Great Wolf Lodge, American Airlines and more. Offering Affirm at checkout can drive overall sales, increase average order value, and reach new customers.
