Tinkoff has launched its own online travel agency. According to the bank's press service, tourists will be able to purchase air and train tickets, tours, hotel reservations, and car rentals.
"Tinkoff will be the first OTA among Russian banks available for all users, and will expand the lifestyle capabilities of the Tinkoff ecosystem,” the statement said.
It also notes that as part of the relaunch, the Tinkoff Travel platform has partnered with business-to-business booking systems (GDS), enabling direct sales of air travel. Tinkoff Travel offers are now available on major airline metasearch engines (Aviasales.ru, etc.), with more to come. Furthermore, the company plans to expand its product line in the near future to include insurance, as well as tickets for intercity buses, Aeroexpress trains, transfers, and more.
"Travel is one of Tinkoff Bank's top customer needs and one of the most sought-after lifestyle services. We will continue to improve our offering and launch various products within the travel platform," noted Alexander Bro, Head of Partnership Programs at Tinkoff Bank.
We would like to add that the service will continue to collaborate with partners such as OneTwoTrip, Travelata, Booking, and RentalCars to sell train tickets, tours, hotel reservations, and car rentals.
