Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) FinTech company Zilch has launched a new white-label holiday booking tool in collaboration with lastminute.com. The new service, Zilch Travel, allows users to search, book, and pay for holidays, hotels, and flights directly through the Zilch app.
Customers can use their virtual Zilch card to pay for travel, earning up to three percent in rewards on their bookings. Additionally, they can choose to spread the cost of their trip over six weeks or three months, with no interest charges.
Travel is becoming one of Zilch’s fastest-growing categories, with the company reporting 140% year-on-year growth as more customers seek flexible payment options for their trips.
Philip Belamant, CEO and co-founder of Zilch, commented, “In 2025, travel is no longer just a luxury—it’s a priority for both professionals and families. With 84% of UK consumers exploring destinations at home and abroad, they spent over £72 billion on overseas holidays in 2023. Zilch Travel responds to our customers’ demand for the convenience, security, and flexibility to plan and pay for their holidays seamlessly within the app they already trust to manage their finances.”
Belamant added that this new service is part of Zilch’s strategy to increase its share of consumer spending. The launch follows the success of Zilch’s Pay over 3 Months product, which has helped the company achieve over £3.6 billion in total sales since its inception, as well as double its revenues for three consecutive years.
Alessandro Petazzi, CEO of lastminute.com, stated, “This collaboration combines our cutting-edge holiday booking platform with Zilch’s flexible payment options. Consumers will now be able to earn cashback rewards or spread the cost of their holiday bookings interest-free.” He emphasized the importance of holidays as a key annual purchase and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to investing in FinTech solutions that offer personalized and flexible payment options.
