Airbnb and Klarna have joined forces to launch Pay Over Time with Klarna, a new way for guests in Ireland to spread the cost of their reservation.
The launch is part of a phased global roll-out which will see Klarna and Airbnb offering an alternative way to pay in 20 countries across three continents by early 2024.
First launched in North America, Pay Over Time with Klarna allows guests in Ireland to apply to pay for their next stay in three interest-free instalments over two months.
Guests are presented with the option at checkout to either pay for their reservation in full at the time of booking or to Pay Over Time with Klarna, and are seamlessly taken through to the payment platform.
Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe, Airbnb said: “We’re pleased to bring Pay Over Time with Klarna to Ireland, giving guests greater flexibility to spread their payments over a number of weeks or months. Whether you’re booking a solo trip, or organising a get together with friends, choosing the right payment plan has just become a lot easier.”
Colin Creagh, Head of Klarna Ireland said: “Airbnb tells us that one of the top requests from their guests is more ways to pay for their stays. We’re thrilled to bring Klarna’s flexible payment options to Airbnb guests around the globe.”
Pay Over Time with Klarna also launches in six other countries across Europe from today including Czechia, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, with more expected later in the year.
Pay Over Time with Klarna is available from today to guests in Ireland for reservations priced between €35 and €1,500.
