The collaboration brings together UATP’s position as a leader in aviation payments infrastructure with Hands In’s rapidly adopted split payment functionality which will enable airlines to modernize checkout without disrupting their current payment architecture.

Samuel Flynn, CEO of Hands In, stated, “Airlines don’t want another complex integration. They want functionality that works within their existing infrastructure. By embedding directly into UATP’s Ceptor, Hands In is making split payments accessible at global scale not only from an enablement perspective but also reconciliation which is the major challenge for airlines accepting split payments today.”

Through this partnership, airlines across the globe will be able to offer travelers the ability to split the cost of flights and ancillary services into manageable installments, directly at checkout, without the need for additional credit applications or complex financing processes.

“UATP continues to lead in payments innovation. Integrating Hands In into the Ceptor platform allows us to offer airlines enhanced flexibility at checkout while preserving the integrity and reliability of our Network,” stated, Ralph Kaiser, President, CEO & Chairman of UATP.

As demand for flexible payment options continues to rise, particularly for higher-value travel purchases, this collaboration empowers airlines to increase conversion rates, grow ancillary revenue, and enhance customer satisfaction. Passengers benefit from greater financial flexibility and transparency, while airlines maintain full control over the customer experience within their own branded environment.

As airlines continue to innovate in retailing and digital transformation, this partnership sets a new standard for flexible, customer-centric payment experiences in the aviation sector.
