Airbnb and Klarna have collaborated to introduce Pay Over Time with Klarna in Ireland.
This service allows guests to distribute the cost of a reservation priced between €35 and €1,500 over three interest-free instalments within two months.
The launch in Ireland is a part of a phased global rollout that will expand to twenty countries across three continents by early 2024.
Guests in Ireland can choose to either pay in full at the time of booking or opt for “Pay Over Time with Klarna during the checkout process.
Pay Over Time with Klarna” is also being launched in six other European countries, Czechia, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, with more expected later in the year.
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.”
Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe, Airbnb said “this gives guests greater flexibility to spread their payments over a number of weeks or months.
