How You Benefit

Give Your Customers More Freedom.
It's a Win-Win.

More Revenue

Merchants that offer simple financing options make it easier for customers to make a purchasing decision. At the same time, they encourage spontaneous purchases. Especially when it comes to more expensive products, paying in instalments lowers the purchasing barriers when customers see how the full price can be divided into smaller monthly payments.

Tip:

Giving customers the option to pay by invoice at a later date is another way to offer more flexibility and reduce abandonment rates.

100% guaranteed payout

Thanks to our payout guarantee, it doesn't matter to you when and whether customers pay their instalments. You receive the full price. We cover the risk of non-payment and can also handle the receivables management if needed.
