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."

"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
