Apple Pay Later, the consumer lending business, will no longer be available. The program became available in October 2022 and enabled customers to buy products without interest or fees. Surprisingly, in less than a year since the service was introduced, Apple has discontinued it.

This move represents a notable change in the company’s approach as it seeks to collaborate with external providers to offer clients a range of choices for instalment loans.

Apple Pay Later was created to offer consumers a hassle-free and user-friendly purchase method without making total upfront payments. The initiative presented a fresh and imaginative alternative to the conventional finance structures, which is why it was initially met with such excitement. However, it seems Apple has shifted its focus towards other opportunities.

Apple Pay Later & Installment Loans

Exciting news awaits Apple customers! Soon, more instalment loan alternatives will be available for their benefit. These products will be available through various lenders and credit and debit cards, making them easily accessible to customers. Stay tuned for more updates!

This strategy change represents a notable departure from the company’s previous approach, which primarily centred on exploring internal funding options. With the new collaborations, users will have broader financing options. This includes the availability of credit cards and instalment loans to meet their needs.

Users of the wallet app who have signed up for Apple Pay Later can effortlessly handle and repay their loans. Unfortunately, discontinuing the program will prevent new users from benefiting from the service. Customers who used Apple Pay Later for their financial needs may find this adjustment inconvenient.
