Paypal has joined the growing list of "buy now, pay later" providers in Australia with the launch of Pay in 4.
It's mostly similar to the other providers with the exeption that there are no late fees charged.
By comparison -
- Afterpay - for each order below $40, a maximum of one $10 late fee may be applied per order. For each order of $40 or above, the total of the late fees that may be applied are capped at 25% of the original order value or $68, whichever is less.
- Zip Pay - If you don't pay the minimum payment each month (or the remaining balance if less), a late fee of $5 for Zip Pay and $15 for Zip Money will be charged 21 days after your contractual due date.
- Klarna - If your instalment is late, you will only be charged 1 late fee per late instalment, meaning the most you will be charged is $9, $15, $21 or $45 depending on the value of your order.
- Latitude Pay - If an automatic payment fails and your payment is still outstanding after 24 hours, you'll be charged a $10 late fee.
Sorry, won't work with my Amex card (that I normally use for Paypal purchases).
