Agoda Now Offers BillEase’s BNPL Payment Option for Filipino Travelers

BillEase, a consumer finance app offering BNPL, is now available as a payment option on online travel platform Agoda to give Filipino travelers more flexibility to pay in installments without a credit card.

This integration is enabled by Alipay+, a global cross-border digital payments and marketing solution operated by Ant Group.

By selecting BillEase as a checkout option on both Agoda’s web and app platforms, travelers can split the total cost of purchases into either bi-weekly or monthly payments with up to 12 months of installments.

Earlier this year, BillEase and Alipay+ announced their partnership to enable local customers in the Philippines to complete online purchases at global merchants and pay in card-free installments.

Launched in 2017, BillEase provides personal loans, e-wallet top-ups, prepaid load, bills payment, gaming credits as well as a customisable BNPL.

“In a post-pandemic world where travel has been significantly impacted, our partnership with Agoda represents a significant shift in how Filipinos around the world can manage their travel expenses.

It empowers consumers to get back into the world of travel on their own terms, providing them with more financial flexibility and control.”

Catering to consumers’ diverse preferences for payments is now imperative for merchants.”
