Mumbai-based fintech company ePayLater has partnered with travel portal MakeMyTrip to extend the former’s ‘Book Now, Pay Later’ service to customers purchasing flight, bus and train tickets on MakeMyTrip. This will allow customers to book travel without making a payment while availing the benefits of interest-free credit for a period of 14 days from the date of the ticket purchase. To use this feature, users will have to sign up with ePayLater once (if not done already), which will entitle them to the credit limit. What makes the use of ePayLater more convenient, quick and seamless for users is that they need not type in their bank account/card details or use other modes of payment during the check-out process. The transaction can be completed with just a tap. Further, the users can easily make the repayment at a later date through simple and minimal online steps. Akshat Saxena, co-founder, ePayLater, said this collaboration is a leap towards bringing on-board the next 500 million Indian travelers, as it combines simplicity of customer experience with the sophistication of data science and digital credit.
