Why We Don't Support Buy Now, Pay Later Services
We believe Buy Now, Pay Later services such as Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or others encourage spending habits that are not in the best interests of consumers.
Splitting payments into smaller instalments can make purchases feel more affordable than they really are, encouraging impulse buying and making it easier for people to spend beyond their means. What appears to be a simple payment option can quickly become multiple ongoing commitments across different retailers.
For some people, Buy Now, Pay Later services can become a debt trap. As multiple instalment plans accumulate, it can become increasingly difficult to keep up with repayments, potentially leading to financial stress, missed payments, late fees, and a cycle of ongoing debt.
These services also come at a significant cost to merchants through substantially higher transaction fees than traditional payment methods. Those costs don't disappear - they ultimately contribute to higher prices across the retail industry.
Buy Now, Pay Later transactions can also create additional complexity when handling refunds, cancellations, and disputes, often resulting in a slower and less straightforward experience for customers.
We believe responsible purchasing starts with buying what you can comfortably afford today, rather than relying on deferred payment services. Paying upfront helps avoid unnecessary financial commitments, reduces the risk of overspending, and promotes better financial wellbeing.
For these reasons, we have chosen not to offer Buy Now, Pay Later payment options.
