Business Now, Pay Later industrializes the conventional buy now, pay later (BNPL) model, strengthening it and making it fit-for-purpose for commercial banks and their customers.

Episode Six (E6) has unveiled “Business Now, Pay Later,” an innovative solution that empowers commercial banks to cater to the financial needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within their business banking channels. This launch comes as a response to the growing demand from SMEs for more adaptable working capital solutions, with 89% of them feeling underserved by their current banks, as highlighted by Capgemini’s 2022 World Payments Report.

Business Now, Pay Later transforms the conventional buy now, pay later (BNPL) model to suit the needs of commercial banks and their SME clients. It presents an opportunity for financial institutions to tap into an underserved market while enhancing their relationships with SMEs. The solution enables banks to offer installment loans at various stages of the buying journey, providing flexibility in payment methods and repayment options, all managed through the bank’s configurations.
