How it works

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) and monthly installment plans allow you to make purchases without the need to make the full payment up front.

* All loans are offered by your lending provider and are subject to the lending provider's eligibility requirements and approval, as well as other lending provider terms. Not available in all markets, and may not be available for all types of purchases, such as subscriptions and recurring transactions. May need an eligible card. This feature is only available with Apple Pay online and in apps, on iPhone or iPad. Not available in-store. Software requirements apply. To ensure you have all features of this product, update your device to the latest software version. Depending on your card, to avoid paying off your loan early, you may need to adjust how you pay your card’s bill. For example, your entire loan may be reflected in the statement balance of your card, and thus paying your statement balance (instead of, for example, the minimum payment due or an adjusted balance) would pay off your entire loan early. Contact your card issuer for more details.
