Singapore Travel Startup Laters.com Raises $1.5 Million to Unlock Flexible Payments for Young Explorers

Singapore-based travel startup Laters.com has secured US$1.5 million in seed funding to grow its flexible payment options for flights and more.

The round was led by XBO Ventures with participation from angel investors including Dor Isseroff.

From Fly Fairly to Laters.com: A Profitable Rebrand

Laters.com was previously known as Fly Fairly and focuses on payment flexibility that appeals to millennials and Gen Z.

The company has reported net profits every month since February 2025 according to its management accounts.

This track record stands out in the travel sector where many startups struggle with consistent earnings.

Crypto users on the platform spend more than twice as much as average customers often choosing premium long-haul options.

Why Flexible Travel Payments Matter Beyond Bookings

The new capital will help expand existing operations and develop new products that go beyond flights into additional travel verticals.

Young travelers today prefer options like installments and crypto that match how they manage money in daily life.

This approach could make international trips more accessible for a generation facing rising costs and economic pressures.

Industry watchers see potential for similar models to influence how other travel platforms handle payments in Asia.

Overall the funding signals growing investor interest in travel fintech solutions tailored to modern consumer habits.
