Working with Younited, a leader in instant credit, Zapp will offer customers streamlined, highly-flexible finance solutions at the point of sale – both online and in-store. The partnership puts into place another key pillar of Zapp’s innovative, customer-experience focused product offering.
Younited is a well-known financial services firm, relied upon by established brands among leading technology companies such as Microsoft, and has more than one million customers across Europe. Its Younited Pay instalment payment solution enables merchants, such as Zapp, to offer their customers instant credit on-line or in-store, on flexible terms.
Younited Pay uses automated ‘smart banking’ technology to streamline the finance application process through the customer’s banking app, eliminating the need for applicants to fill in forms and/or submit documents. This enables a seamless application and underwriting process, with instant credit approval.
Younited Pay offers configurable payment plans that fit the customer’s needs and preferences, including partial or full financing, with payments spread across a timeframe that the customer selects. The process is transparent, with no hidden fees or charges.
The partnership will kick-off in Zapp’s initial launch market of France before expanding into other countries.
