Firms are forging strategic alliances to offer BNPL services to travelers in the Asia Pacific region

After two years of pandemic-induced restrictions, travel and tourism have recorded a strong rebound in 2022 and the trend is expected to further continue in 2023. Amid this pent-up travel demand, BNPL providers and travel-focused platforms are entering into strategic partnerships.

In November 2022, Atome, one of the leading BNPL providers in the Asia Pacific region, announced that the firm had entered into a strategic collaboration with Trip.com. Under the partnership, Trip.com will allow travelers to book flights and accommodations using the BNPL payment service offered by Atome.

BNPL providers are targeting in-store transactions to drive the next growth phase in the segment

The B2B BNPL space has also gained rapid momentum in 2022.

With the demand for credit expected to further increase among businesses, that are struggling with cash flow due to the pandemic ripple effects, unstable macroeconomic conditions, and ongoing supply chain issues, the publisher expects B2B BNPL firms to further raise funding rounds from the short to medium-term perspective.
