JetBlue and Marcus by Goldman Sachs have come together to announce that MarcusPay is available for JetBlue flights, as the firms seek to navigate through the pandemic.
The collaboration means that JetBlue customers will be granted the opportunity to apply for a MarcusPay loan from the payment page at jetblue.com or jetbluevacations.com and will be available soon via the JetBlue mobile app.
The partnership will significantly boost engagement for the airline at a time when it is most essential as the firm seeks to boost its recovery.
Andres Barry, president, JetBlue Travel Products commented: “With MarcusPay, we’re adding more flexibility and simplicity to the JetBlue travel booking process.
“JetBlue is excited to be the inaugural partner for MarcusPay and provide our customers with an additional way to finance their trips, when the time is right.
“Marcus by Goldman Sachs and their latest offering is part of a transparent customer journey. Customers lock in a fixed rate and the opportunity to pay over time, removing some of the hassle and added costs of planning a vacation.”
MarcusPay, a no deposit, no-fee, fixed-rate point-of-sale instalment loan option, allows customers to pay for larger purchases over time. JetBlue, the platform’s inaugural partner, launched MarcusPay earlier this year exclusively for customers booking JetBlue Vacations packages bundling flights with hotels.
Elisabeth Kozack, head of Consumer Lending Partnerships at Marcus by Goldman Sachs added: “MarcusPay gives customers a smart alternative to financing large purchases.
“JetBlue is a terrific partner for MarcusPay. They remain focused on delivering against their customers’ needs and providing transparency, which helps them deliver a differentiated customer experience for travellers. We’re thrilled to have MarcusPay be a part of that.”
