Payment Solutions

Buy Now, Pay Later financing

Grow your merchant relationships quickly and enable borrowers to pay for purchases within minutes of approval.

Enhancing the customer experience through offering BNPL

Today’s retail experience isn’t just about offering customers the right product, it’s also about providing them with a seamless payment experience. In recent times this has transitioned into the provision of ‘instant credit’ to cater for high value or impulse purchases. In the ever challenging retail arena, BNPL finance is moving from being a differentiator to an essential element of the customer experience mix.

Create a ‘buy now, pay later’ lending solution with ease

Marqeta’s virtual card capability enables a line of credit to be provided, working seamlessly with customers’ mobile wallets and merchants’ POS systems. All of this is done in real time, with Marqeta providing 3 seconds for an authorisation. Additionally, any future repeat spend on unused credit can be later approved based on geo-location.
