Valu, a Mena fintech company, has partnered with Wego, the region’s largest online travel marketplace, to provide Egyptian travellers with more flexible payment options for flights and accommodation.

The collaboration allows eligible Wego customers to select Valu at checkout and pay for bookings through instalment plans of up to 60 months.

The partnership combines Wego’s travel platform with Valu’s financial solutions to simplify travel planning and reduce upfront payment barriers for consumers, including young professionals, families and digital-first users.

By integrating fintech services into travel bookings, Valu and Wego aim to make travel more accessible while supporting the continued growth of digital payments and consumer-focused financial services in Egypt.

Mostafa Tawakol, General Manager for Egypt at Wego, commented: "Travelers today are looking for greater flexibility throughout every stage of their booking journey. Through our partnership with Valu, we are giving customers more choice in how they pay for their trips, making travel planning more accessible and convenient. By combining Wego's travel marketplace with Valu's flexible financing solutions, we're making travel more accessible while continuing to deliver innovative, customer-centric experiences for travelers across Egypt."

Walid Hassouna, CEO of Valu, added: "Our partnership with Wego represents a strategic step toward expanding the reach of our financial solutions within the travel sector. By providing flexible financing for travel, we are not only addressing a key consumer demand but also reinforcing our role as a comprehensive fintech powerhouse that enables individuals to achieve their lifestyle goals with financial ease and security."  -TradeArabia News Service
