Press Release 12:49 - 19 April 2024
Century Travel Group, the only cruise specialist in Cyprus, is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with Ellinas Finance to bring Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) microloans to its travel customers.
To mark the launch of this exclusive partnership and for the duration of the Travel Expo, between 19 April – 26 April, all Century Travel customers will be able to book any cruise with a value of up to €6,000 interest-free, pay only a 20% deposit on booking, and pay the remainder balance in up to 18 small, interest-free monthly installments with GoGet.
Ellinas Finance is the leader in alternative financing in Cyprus, with over 30 years of experience and expertise in financing and other solutions. In 2021, the company launched GoGet Retail Microfinance, the first Microfinance service in Cyprus, enabling business-to-consumer transactions, in which a retailer provides credit to customers for purchase of any product and service, including Travel.
This exclusive new partnership between GoGet Retail Microfinance and Century Travel will see two respected brands – both specialists in their respective industries – working together to offer a new, innovative BNPL option to travel customers who want to finance their travel.
With GoGet, Cypriot travellers will be able to book any holiday or cruise with Century Travel and spread the purchase of their holiday into equal, bite-size installments, of up to 18 months. The application process is easy, with minimal information requested and with a decision on the microloan application made instantly or within 5 days.
“We are very happy to offer our travel customers a strong Buy Now, Pay Later option. From today, our customers can exclusively book their summer holiday, honeymoon, cruise or travel experience whenever they want, without worrying about having the money being available when they need it to make their booking.” says Dan Essex, CEO of Century Travel Group. He added, “With GoGet being the first BNPL solution in Cyprus, we have a great partner on our side and are looking forward to seeing our exclusive partnership grow.”
“We are excited to give travellers across Cyprus easy access to booking their holiday whenever they want and paying for it in small, monthly installments,” says Nearchos Petrides, CEO of Ellinas Finance. He added, “With technology and the entire ecosystem shifting so rapidly, it’s essential to have successful partnerships with merchants in Cyprus - to co-create and innovate. It is on this foundation that we have now entered into a partnership with Century Travel Group for GoGet Pay Later solutions, the first such collaboration in the Cyprus Travel market.”
