Read full description
For customers, Leanpay provides an instant financing option at the point of sale. They can apply for a loan directly at the checkout and receive a decision in minutes. The service is designed to be a transparent and straightforward way to manage larger purchases, with a personal online portal for users to track their payments and balances.
For merchants, integrating Leanpay can lead to increased sales, higher average order values, and improved customer loyalty. The company assumes the credit risk, and merchants receive the full payment for the goods upfront. Leanpay's business model is based on charging a fee to the merchants for each transaction facilitated through its platform.
