Buy Now Pay Later finance solutions
With Buy Now Pay Later, your customer can enjoy their new product now and pay for it later.
It really is that simple. Your customers can buy a product today and not pay a penny towards it for up to a year later. Once the deferral period has ended, customers will then be able to spread the cost of their purchase by making a series of equal monthly repayments over a set period.
Our buy now pay later finance at a glance
“Buy now pay later is too often associated with low-value, short-term finance options used to spread the cost of a takeaway or some clothes. But, executed properly, buy now pay later can be an incredibly powerful finance option for retailers.
Our buy now pay later is a fully regulated product that allows customers to walk away with their chosen product or service, and not pay a penny towards it for up to twelve months later. Plus, a customer can avoid interest charges altogether by paying the full amount within the deferral period (plus a £29 settlement charge where applicable). It gives customers breathing room and flexibility, which is particularly useful in today’s economic climate.
For retailers, it’s an ideal complementary finance option to offer alongside our other popular options. It appeals to customers who are looking for instant gratification, and can really accelerate a purchasing decision.”
