Rehlat moves forward in digital payment

Rehlat, one of the fastest growing online travel agencies in the Middle East, has announced a strategic partnership with digital payments solution provider PayPal, offering seamless convenience to its customers.

“Adding PayPal as a way to pay within Rehlat furthers our mission to provide a seamless way to pay for the services that matter most to our customers. With the introduction of PayPal, now non-GCC (America and Europe) customers are also enjoying Rehlat’s services,” said Bhanu Laxman, assistant vice president - Digital Marketing.

Not only will consumers be able to pay for their travel booking directly from PayPal, but also would be able to earn Karam+, Rehlat’s travel reward points on every booking.

Speaking on the partnership, Amanpreet Singh, COO, Rehlat, said: “We have always believed in offering the best and the safest payment options to our customers and adding PayPal to our payment solutions confirms that. PayPal’s payment solution is swift, easy to use, and safe and this would also ensure quick and seamless payments for our customers."

"PayPal is growing fast, building a notable reach in the Middle East. The digital payment giant has over 2 million registered PayPal users in Saudi Arabia, 1.15 million in UAE, and 700,000 in Kuwait," he said.

PayPal is now available on Rehlat’s Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and UAE domain. This offers significant advantages in travel booking wherein customers pay without transmitting bank details.

With PayPal, customers will now be able to make payments without having to take out their card and would also receive notifications of their booking immediately. The service is fully secure thanks to PayPal’s system wherein the recipient doesn’t receive sensitive financial information like credit card or bank account number. Additionally, when paying with PayPal on any website, PayPal Purchase Protection covers the user if they have a problem. - TradeArabia News Service
