Croix, 8 June 2026
At a time when travelers are seeking ever more flexibility in planning their holidays, instalment payments are emerging as a strategic lever to balance the desire to travel with budget control. That is why Oney, a leading European player in consumer finance, insurance and fraud prevention, and France’s leader in instalment payments, is partnering with Club Med, the global leader in upscale all-inclusive holidays, to enable customers to pay for their stays in instalments in France and Belgium.
INSTALMENT PAYMENTS: A NEW STANDARD IN TOURISM
Oney and Club Med are combining their expertise to reinvent access to high-end travel. By integrating Oney’s instalment payment solutions—technically operated by the HiPay platform, a long-standing partner of Oney for over ten years and Club Med’s Payment Service Provider (PSP)—the brand now offers customers unprecedented financial flexibility for exceptional baskets reaching up to €20,000.
This partnership removes immediate budget barriers, particularly for last-minute offers, while ensuring a smooth and secure purchasing journey. A CSA x Oney study from September 2025 revealed that nearly 11% of French people planned to increase their holiday budget, and instalment payments are emerging as a simple and secure solution to turn travel aspirations into reality. For both partners, flexibility is now at the heart of customer satisfaction: payment should no longer be a constraint, but a source of peace of mind.
A EUROPEAN AMBITION TO STREAMLINE THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY
This strategic partnership is part of a shared European growth trajectory. Initially launched in France on the web and via web-to-store travel agencies, the collaboration is now live in the Belgian market. This geographic expansion highlights Oney’s ability to support Club Med with a competitive model backed by the strength of Groupe BPCE.
Building on this success, both partners are working on optimizing their setup, notably by developing an operating model directly integrated into travel agency sales tools, in order to strengthen in-store adoption. The objective: streamline the customer experience and accelerate uptake of the solution. This dynamic positions Oney and Club Med as leading players in a new standard for premium travel in Europe, where financial innovation becomes a true driver of travel.
Clémentine PARFAIT, E-Commerce Director at Club Med, said : « Oney combines the financial strength of Groupe BPCE with the agility of a leading fintech in the tourism sector. This collaboration allows us to offer seamless technical integration and very simple payment journey management. This payment flexibility also gives our customers the opportunity to book their trips with greater peace of mind, including at the last minute, without having to pay the full amount at the time of booking. »
Julien CAILLEAU, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Oney : « This partnership with Club Med demonstrates our ability to support tourism players at a European scale. Our role is to leverage our expertise to provide travelers with a payment solution that is simple, flexible and above all protective. By already anticipating the requirements of the upcoming European Consumer Credit Directive (CCD2), we are committed to offering a responsible financing framework that secures every holiday project. »
