Founded in 1996 inside Microsoft as the first major consumer-facing online travel booking service, Expedia was spun off and subsequently became the nucleus of a broad travel marketplace through aggressive acquisition of brands including Hotels.com, Vrbo, Orbitz, Travelocity, Trivago, and Hotwire. The company's embedded finance strategy has evolved from pure transaction facilitation to layering consumer financing (Affirm BNPL), travel insurance (XCover/Cover Genius), and fraud prevention (OpenWorld Merchant Shield) directly into the booking funnel. As of 2026, Expedia is focused on deepening platform monetization by embedding financial products at the moment of travel intent.
