Here’s how PayPal takes the hassle out of group holidays

Ease your travel worries with these smart tips and tricks.

January is here and there’s nothing like planning a trip to get you through what feels like the longest month of the year. While group holidays can be exciting, travelling in large groups isn't always as smooth as we'd like it to be.

From paying the organiser back on group bookings, to navigating the perils of splitting a large bill at dinner time, there are some elements of the group holiday that we're less excited about.

Thankfully, the PayPal app can take care of your holiday's trickier parts, freeing you up to enjoy stress-free dinners, adventurous days out and fun group activities.

Here are three reasons PayPal is the perfect travel companion:

Straight-forward set up

It's easy to get started with PayPal. Simply download the app and sign up for an account. Next, you link a payment method, like your bank or your credit or debit card, or both!

Safe, secure online bookings

When booking travel, accommodation and activities, keep your eyes peeled for the PayPal button at your vendor's checkout, and enjoy the peace of mind, knowing that PayPal works hard to keep your transactions secure every step of the way.

Peer-to-peer payments

When it's time to split the bill, or reimburse your mate for a booking, simply use PayPal's Send Money feature for a quick and safe transfer*. Add your contacts using their phone number, email address or PayPal username and then send or request exact amounts within seconds. Zero need for bank account numbers, sort codes or last-minute dashes to the ATM!

*A PayPal account is required to send and receive money.
