Installment payment (or “Buy Now Pay Later”) solutions are the fastest-growing digital payment method in the United States, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, the United Kingdom and other mature payments markets, with market share projected to grow at a rate of 28 percent over the next five years, according to PYMNTS.com.
Verrency’s “Pay Later” feature enables bank customers to instantly move any regular purchase transaction to a longer-term installment payments plan. Consumers can select to pay in multiple installments with a single click before, during, or after a purchase is made. Customers can use their bank’s existing debit or credit card to purchase items as they normally would, and can then move purchases to installments, paying off their purchases over a longer period of time.
