Our take

Working with partner sites including United Vacations, Carnival and Lufthansa, Uplift offers a buy now pay later solution enabling customers to take the trips they want without hefty upfront costs.

It's a simple but highly effective proposition. Uplift partners who operate vacation package sites (branded with airlines, or as standalone OTAs like Kayak) and offer financing to travellers, allowing them to pay for their trips in monthly instalments. Behind the scenes, it works with a bank partner for the loans. Uplift's CEO and founder is an industry veteran who sold his own discount travel search space to Kayak for $200M in 2007.

Whilst Uplift faces competition on all sides (not least from Affirm, who recently moved into the travel space), it is the only major player focusing solely on the industry. Furthermore, the company has been in a high growth phase in recent years, now boasting over 200 impressive partners, from Emirates and Spirit Airlines to Tripster and Vegas.com,.
