Mint Payments, an Australian travel payments provider, has partnered with Zip, a digital financial services company, to offer flexible payment options for travel bookings across its merchant network.
The partnership allows travel agencies, tour operators and other travel businesses using Mint in Australia to provide Zip’s flexible payment options alongside conventional payment methods.
Merchants receive full payment upfront, minus fees, while customers can spread the cost over time with low or no interest.
Travel bookings in Australia reached record levels in 2025, with over 12 million Australians travelling overseas.
The new payment option aims to facilitate booking and payment processes for both merchants and consumers.
Through Mint’s platform, merchants receive settlement within two banking days.
Zip manages customer repayments directly, removing credit risk and administrative responsibility from travel operators.
The payment option can be activated via the existing Mint dashboard and appears automatically at checkout.
Mint Payments CEO, Alex Teoh, said,
“This partnership enables merchants to get paid upfront, streamline their payment workflows, and unlock new audiences, while customers get the flexibility to book now and pay over time. This way merchants can keep their cash flow steady while giving travellers more choice.”
Becky Cook, Chief Customer & Revenue Officer at Zip ANZ, added,
“Zip’s partnership with Mint Payments will make it simpler for travel agents to get paid quickly and provide consumers more freedom to book their dream holiday, while still managing their cash flow appropriately. Travel remains a strategic vertical for Zip and we’re looking forward to supporting even more travel merchants in 2026 and beyond.”
