Travelers Booking Minor Hotels in Europe Now Enjoy Flexible Payment Options

Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments innovator, has partnered with hospitality leader Minor Hotels to roll out flexible payment methods for European travelers. This move, launched just in time for the summer holiday season, introduces Klarna’s signature option to pay immediately or split hotel bookings into three interest-free installments when checking out at Minor Hotels across 13 European countries.

Klarna’s approach supports this shift, catering both to consumers’ budgeting preferences and to hospitality brands eager to simplify the booking process. Raji Behal, Klarna’s Head for Southern and Western Europe, UK & Ireland, notes, “Our partnership with Minor Hotels means guests can focus on the excitement of planning their trip, with payment options that fit around them.”
