WASHINGTON and MENLO PARK, Calif., March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- UATP and Uplift are pleased to announce their collaboration to provide
installment payments for travelers. The UATP-Uplift partnership enables travel partners to deploy installment payments directly
in their online booking flow while transacting across the UATP network.
"Flexible payments are a proven way to increase conversion and drive new revenue. Together, we wanted to make flexible
payments simple and easy to implement," said Brian Barth, CEO and founder, Uplift. "Uplift and
UATP are collaborating to enable a seamless and transparent implementation of Uplift Pay Monthly on the UATP network - delivering
instant ROI."
Through UATP's Network, Uplift is working with the world's largest airlines and travel companies to leverage payments as a
marketing tool that boosts conversion and increases ancillary revenues. Uplift allows airlines to offer travelers the
ability to buy now and pay over time, with low, fixed monthly payments, clarity on the total cost, only a one-day advance
purchase and no hidden fees. With Uplift, customers are able to lock-in advance purchase fares for that once in a lifetime
trip or a hard-earned family vacation while paying over time. Uplift's travel-specific business model supports the airline's
direct to consumer distribution strategies by never re-marketing to passengers.
"Through this partnership with Uplift, UATP's Network airlines will be able to access high-value audiences and grow sales
revenue," said Ralph Kaiser, president and CEO, UATP. "Uplift is 100% focused on travel and sets
the standard for travel installment payments. We take great pride in working together."
