Breakthrough Vic saga, FMiA update & Slice's US expansionAbout Slice
Slice is a Sydney-based fintech startup specializing in travel payment solutions, founded in 2018 by Farouk Ismail and Yannick Darmalingam. The company aims to make travel more accessible by offering lay-by payment options, allowing customers to secure flight prices with a small deposit and pay the remainder in installments before departure. This approach enables travelers to budget effectively without incurring debt.
