Float is a checkout payment solution that enables shoppers to split purchases into interest-free, fee-free monthly instalments using their existing Visa or Mastercard credit card, without any application or credit check.
Think of it like an interest-free ‘budget facility’ – shoppers get to enjoy their purchases today and pay for them over time and they don’t take out any extra debt to do so, either.
Offering Float as a payment option is proven to increase average order values by over 80%, drastically improve conversions and grow incremental sales. As Float is instantly accessible to around 5 million pre-approved credit card holders in South Africa, you’re opening up your business to a pool of potential customers with more purchasing power than ever before.
Float’s additional benefits include:
- Completely frictionless checkouts, with no applications or credit checks.
- No limits on transaction sizes, meaning you can sell those big-ticket items in bite-size, interest-free instalments.
- Longer and more flexible repayment periods than any other buy now, pay later solution.
- Cross-border transactions means you can sell to shoppers from all over the globe.
