Cathay Pacific provides more flexible payment options with Zip partnership

Cathay Pacific today announced a new partnership with Zip, the digital financial services company offering innovative, people-centred products. This partnership provides Australian customers more freedom when booking their next trip through six months interest free with Zip Money* or always interest free with Zip Pay^. Paying nothing on the day of purchase, Cathay Pacific customers can now spread the cost of their flights over weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payments – the choice is up to them.

Offering safe and secure online checkouts, Zip provides a credit limit of up to $1,000 with Zip Pay^ and up to $10,000 with Zip Money*. This gives Cathay Pacific customers the opportunity to plan their dream holiday and enjoy greater flexibility with how they pay.

Cathay Regional General Manager, Southwest Pacific Frosti Lau said: “Our partnership with Zip could not come at a better time. We know Australians are hungry to travel and having the option to break up payments provides our customers with more choice when they book with us. Our goal is to connect our customers to the world through our hub in Hong Kong and this partnership allows us to do that by providing them with the flexibility to pay their own way”.

Zip’s Acting Chief Commercial Officer, Nitin Kashid said: “We’re excited to launch our partnership with Cathay Pacific in Australia, Zip’s first major international airline. This partnership allows us to broaden our strong offering in the travel industry and support our customers in managing their booking and travel costs over time. We’re committed to providing our customers with the flexibility and control they need to plan and pay for their journeys, empowering them to unlock their financial potential.”
