Perpay
Facilitates interest-free paycheck deduction payments
About Perpay
Perpay helps consumers make shopping more accessible and affordable by allowing them to purchase products through interest-free payments that are deducted directly from their paychecks. Users start by answering a few questions to determine their spending limit, which can range from $500 to $2,500. Once approved, they can shop immediately, with payments spread over a series of typically eight installments. This model is particularly useful for individuals who may not have access to traditional credit or who want to avoid high-interest rates. What sets Perpay apart from its competitors is its focus on interest-free payments and the simplicity of having payments deducted directly from paychecks, making the repayment process easier for users. The company's goal is to provide a hassle-free shopping experience that allows consumers to make significant purchases without incurring debt or interest.
