GetLocals, a leading online marketplace for travel experiences in Eastern Europe, today announced a new partnership with Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider. Starting in mid-January, customers will have access to Klarna's range of payment options when booking private guided tours and experiences through GetLocals' platform.
The collaboration aims to enhance the booking experience by offering greater transparency, convenience, and control. "At GetLocals, we put the needs and a convenient booking experience of our customers at the center of everything we do," said Stefan Hendrick, CEO of GetLocals. "By leveraging our digital capabilities and partnering with Klarna we can now offer greater choice and flexibility in how customers pay for their experiences."
GetLocals customers can select from Klarna's payment options at checkout: Pay in Full, Pay in 30 Days, Pay in 3 interest-free instalments, or Financing with monthly payments. This flexibility is particularly appealing to younger travelers, with 51% of those booking cultural, historic, and local tour experiences last year being Gen Z or Millennials, according to the company.
"This partnership makes clear the growing global demand for greater flexibility and control when booking travel experiences," said Irina Enii, Co-Founder of GetLocals. "With a single integration, GetLocals is now bringing Klarna to travellers across 15 countries—providing a smoother, smarter booking experience that fits the way people prefer to pay today."
GetLocals operates in 15 countries in Eastern Europe, offering tours from local experts and exclusive access to must-see attractions. The partnership with Klarna ensures that GetLocals can cater to the rising demand for unique experiences backed by a digital payment system that is intuitive and dynamic.
