Provides buy now, pay later services

About Zip

Zip Co offers buy now, pay later (BNPL) services that allow consumers to make purchases and pay for them over time without interest. Its main products, Zip Pay and Zip Money, cater to different spending needs, with Zip Pay for everyday purchases and Zip Money for larger expenses. The service works by enabling users to shop at partnered retailers and manage their payments through a clear and transparent system, where they can see how much they owe and when payments are due. Unlike many competitors, Zip focuses on providing flexible payment options and a straightforward fee structure, generating revenue through merchant fees, late fees, and interest on select products. The company's goal is to simplify the purchasing process for consumers while expanding its market presence across various countries.
