Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Singapore, Laters.com is a mobile-first online travel agency offering over 100 payment options, including Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), cryptocurrency, and local wallets
Laters.com, a global online travel agency, was launched to make travel more accessible through flexible payments such as Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), cryptocurrency, and local wallets, competitive fares, and a seamless mobile-first experience. However, uncertainty around cancellations and changes remained a barrier to booking. Laters.com needed a way to give customers peace of mind, reduce checkout drop-offs, and build long-term loyalty.
Laters.com has embedded Refund Protect into its global OTA booking flow, empowering customers to add cancellation protection at the point of sale. This reduced friction, boosted trust, and complemented Laters.com’s wider strategy of offering flexibility in both payments and bookings.
Laters.com grew protected sales to 18.2% of monthly revenue. Customers who purchased protection were also more likely to book again, highlighting Refund Protect’s role in driving both immediate revenue and longer-term loyalty.
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Singapore, Laters.com is a mobile-first online travel agency offering over 100 payment options, including Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), cryptocurrency, and local wallets. Customers can book from more than 650 airlines worldwide, from full-service carriers to low-cost operators. Laters.com also provides crypto flight payments and the widest selection of BNPL travel options of any OTA, positioning it as a leader in flexible travel payments. In less than a year since its August 2024 launch, Laters.com has expanded into 10 live markets across Asia Pacific, North America, and the Middle East, serving travellers in over 50 countries.
