Buy Now, Pay Later

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is a type of short-term financing that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them at a future date, often interest-free. The Buy Now, Pay Later solution is a digital journey that allows customers to obtain a loan for consumer needs.  The application process is tied to the checkout solution for the marketplace so that the experience is seamless and very fast compared to a more classic loan offering.

The solution is also built to handle multiple types of scoring mechanisms, from a fully integrated user score based on the marketplace behavior to a more classical approach with Credit Bureau checks and Open Banking capabilities. The solution employs an Open Banking method for markets where financial institutions must perform income checks.

The journey is accessible through APIs, therefore the accelerator integrates with any marketplace for a seamless experience, for example, e-commerce websites for electronic goods or clothing websites.

Key differentiators:

Fast track approval process. The underwriting process for customer can be as easy as confirming some personal details. This is enabled by calculating most of the risk before the customer proceeds with the BNPL payment option in the marketplace checkout.

Personalized product. The solution has the ability do filter the type of BNPL products available at checkout based on the customer risk profile, this helps to significantly reduce the possibility for a user to not  get approved.

Seamless CX on checkout. For returning customers, they journey will usually take just 5 taps to complete after he chooses to pay with a BNPL in the marketplace. Even for new customers, the process usually requires to will in the contact details, name and surname and the date of birth (if not available from the marketplace).

Flexible decision models.  the solution can be adapted to fit most risk scenarios, leveraging data from the marketplace, lender and third-party providers.
