GreenSky & Flights

GreenSky is a US loan payment solution that allows customers to make large online purchases that they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford by loaning them the money to pay.

Customers can apply for a loan with GreenSky either online or on the phone. Customers can request a loan amount for any length of time (between 6–78 months). Once the terms of the loan are agreed, customers will need to pay back a portion of the loan on each month that the loan has been agreed to pay back over.

GreenSky is used all over the US. There are more than 18,000 merchants that accept GreenSky as a payment method and over 3.4 million customers using it. GreenSky can make a large flight purchase much more affordable by giving you the ability to pay off a little bit of the flight each month.
