Point-of-sale financing
The future of retail
The "buy now, pay later" financing market is growing rapidly as consumers expect the flexibility to pay for purchases over time. Traditional issuers are still developing their point-of-sale (POS) lending strategies to keep pace with the scale and speed of disruption that new technology players are bringing to the market.
