She has used at least five more since to buy face cream, T-shirts and birthday gifts.</p>\n<p>Installment plans are back&nbsp;in style.PayPal Holdings&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;last week&nbsp;said it was buying Japanese installment payment startup&nbsp;Paidy Inc., following Square Inc.’s&nbsp;$29 billion deal&nbsp;for&nbsp;Afterpay&nbsp;Ltd.Macy’s&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bed Bath &amp; Beyond&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;have added the option at checkout over the past year. Even&nbsp;Amazon.com&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;is doing it.</p>\n<p>One reason: shoppers like Ms. Luedtke who don’t qualify for credit cards. Buy-now-pay-later companies say they rely less on—and in some cases bypass altogether—traditional credit scores and reports. Doing so allows them to approve more consumers. Shoppers gain the ability to buy things even without cash on hand—translating to higher sales for retailers.</p>\n<p>Afterpay said it expects the company’s U.S. merchants will see an $8.2 billion increase in sales this year because of payment plans.Affirm Holdings&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;last year said purchases made with its payment plans were 85% larger, on average.</p>\n<p>Shoppers spend more at Macy’s when they use installment plans offered through Klarna Bank AB, Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette said on a recent earnings call. Klarna also is helping the retailer attract younger customers, he said.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40620bab35c446816da175fb2334c05e\" tg-width=\"435\" tg-height=\"562\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>“The value that most retailers see in buy now, pay later is customer acquisition,” said David Sykes, Klarna’s North America head.</p>\n<p>Ms. Luedtke, 26, has credit cards now but still prefers installment plans. Just last month, she used them to buy about $40 of Peter Thomas Roth skin-care products and $65 in clothing from Shein.</p>\n<p>“It definitely influences how much more I buy or would spend,” she said. “It’s easier to pay $200 over so many weeks compared to $200 right now.”</p>\n<p>Buy now, pay later is a new twist on an old idea. Big retailers have for decades offered installment plans for big-ticket items like washing machines. Today, these plans come in a variety of flavors. Afterpay offers payment plans that shoppers usually attach to their debit cards. Others, like Affirm, also facilitate new loans.</p>\n<p>Interest rates and other terms vary by payment-plan provider. Affirm interest rates range from 0% to 30%, with some 43% of its transactions during its last fiscal year not charging interest at all. The company doesn’t charge late fees. Afterpay doesn’t charge interest but does collect late fees.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/223a1da79b30869fc443b06f41a959eb\" tg-width=\"441\" tg-height=\"556\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Merchants take no credit risk with these plans, but the fees they incur can be higher than on credit-card purchases—often between 3% and 5% of the purchase price, according to people familiar with the matter.</p>\n<p>Buy-now-pay-later companies say they can approve more customers than banks, including people who have thin or no borrowing history. Some 53 million adults in the U.S. lack traditional credit scores, according to FICO score creator&nbsp;Fair Isaac&nbsp;Corp.Installment plans are safer, they say, because they are often smaller than credit-card spending limits and approved on a per-transaction basis.</p>\n<p>Affirm said that it had a net charge-off rate of 1% in the quarter ended June 30, down from 2% a year earlier. Afterpay said it wrote off 0.6% of the total dollars it processed in payments during the company’s fiscal year ended June 30, up from 0.4% the year prior.</p>\n<p>Working with a web of retailers, buy-now-pay-later companies can create self-contained payment ecosystems. They factor payment behavior into future underwriting decisions. Customers who pay late or not at all risk losing the installment option at other participating retailers.</p>\n<p>“Most merchants want a partner who has real advantage and real ability to underwrite,” said Affirm CEO Max Levchin. “These are not deeper approvals, but they are different approvals.”</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f0a5ab7e1c7d6de154b68c230f13b49\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"700\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Affirm facilitates new loans among other payment plans.</span></p>\n<p>Amazon&nbsp;and&nbsp;Walmart&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;are both working with Affirm. Both have said they want their financial partners to extend credit to more of their customers.</p>\n<p>Amazon is reviewing proposals, as it weighs whether to replace its longtime card issuer, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. Amazon is looking for “commitments to underwrite competitively to widen the acquisition funnel,” the retailer said in a request for proposals reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.</p>\n<p>A desire to boost loan approvals was among the reasons Walmart in 2018 decided to end its decadeslong credit-card partnership with&nbsp;Synchrony Financial.(Capital One Financial Corp. now issues Walmart-branded credit cards.) The retailer made Affirm loans available to most of its customers the following year.</p>\n<p>“Our goal is financial inclusion for all,” said Julia Unger, Walmart’s vice president of financial services.</p>\n<p>Some banks now offer installment options on their credit cards.Citigroup&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;saw a sevenfold increase in the dollar amount of credit-card purchases converted to installment loans in July, compared with the same month a year prior, said Gonzalo Luchetti, head of Citigroup’s U.S. consumer bank.</p>\n<p>Synchrony, the largest U.S. store-credit-card issuer, will launch a buy-now, pay-later plan in October.

She has used at least five more since to buy face cream, T-shirts and birthday gifts.\nInstallment plans are back in style.PayPal Holdings Inc. last week said it was buying Japanese installment payment startup Paidy Inc., following Square Inc.’s $29 billion deal for Afterpay Ltd.Macy’s Inc. and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. have added the option at checkout over the past year. Even Amazon.com Inc. is doing it.\nOne reason: shoppers like Ms. Luedtke who don’t qualify for credit cards. Buy-now-pay-later companies say they rely less on—and in some cases bypass altogether—traditional credit scores and reports. Doing so allows them to approve more consumers. Shoppers gain the ability to buy things even without cash on hand—translating to higher sales for retailers.\nAfterpay said it expects the company’s U.S. merchants will see an $8.2 billion increase in sales this year because of payment plans.Affirm Holdings Inc. last year said purchases made with its payment plans were 85% larger, on average.\nShoppers spend more at Macy’s when they use installment plans offered through Klarna Bank AB, Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette said on a recent earnings call. Klarna also is helping the retailer attract younger customers, he said.\n\n“The value that most retailers see in buy now, pay later is customer acquisition,” said David Sykes, Klarna’s North America head.\nMs. Luedtke, 26, has credit cards now but still prefers installment plans. Just last month, she used them to buy about $40 of Peter Thomas Roth skin-care products and $65 in clothing from Shein.\n“It definitely influences how much more I buy or would spend,” she said. “It’s easier to pay $200 over so many weeks compared to $200 right now.”\nBuy now, pay later is a new twist on an old idea. Big retailers have for decades offered installment plans for big-ticket items like washing machines. Today, these plans come in a variety of flavors. Afterpay offers payment plans that shoppers usually attach to their debit cards. Others, like Affirm, also facilitate new loans.\nInterest rates and other terms vary by payment-plan provider. Affirm interest rates range from 0% to 30%, with some 43% of its transactions during its last fiscal year not charging interest at all. The company doesn’t charge late fees. Afterpay doesn’t charge interest but does collect late fees.\n\nMerchants take no credit risk with these plans, but the fees they incur can be higher than on credit-card purchases—often between 3% and 5% of the purchase price, according to people familiar with the matter.\nBuy-now-pay-later companies say they can approve more customers than banks, including people who have thin or no borrowing history. Some 53 million adults in the U.S. lack traditional credit scores, according to FICO score creator Fair Isaac Corp.Installment plans are safer, they say, because they are often smaller than credit-card spending limits and approved on a per-transaction basis.\nAffirm said that it had a net charge-off rate of 1% in the quarter ended June 30, down from 2% a year earlier. Afterpay said it wrote off 0.6% of the total dollars it processed in payments during the company’s fiscal year ended June 30, up from 0.4% the year prior.\nWorking with a web of retailers, buy-now-pay-later companies can create self-contained payment ecosystems. They factor payment behavior into future underwriting decisions. Customers who pay late or not at all risk losing the installment option at other participating retailers.\n“Most merchants want a partner who has real advantage and real ability to underwrite,” said Affirm CEO Max Levchin. “These are not deeper approvals, but they are different approvals.”\nAffirm facilitates new loans among other payment plans.\nAmazon and Walmart Inc. are both working with Affirm. Both have said they want their financial partners to extend credit to more of their customers.\nAmazon is reviewing proposals, as it weighs whether to replace its longtime card issuer, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Amazon is looking for “commitments to underwrite competitively to widen the acquisition funnel,” the retailer said in a request for proposals reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.\nA desire to boost loan approvals was among the reasons Walmart in 2018 decided to end its decadeslong credit-card partnership with Synchrony Financial.(Capital One Financial Corp. now issues Walmart-branded credit cards.) The retailer made Affirm loans available to most of its customers the following year.\n“Our goal is financial inclusion for all,” said Julia Unger, Walmart’s vice president of financial services.\nSome banks now offer installment options on their credit cards.Citigroup Inc. saw a sevenfold increase in the dollar amount of credit-card purchases converted to installment loans in July, compared with the same month a year prior, said Gonzalo Luchetti, head of Citigroup’s U.S. consumer bank.\nSynchrony, the largest U.S. store-credit-card issuer, will launch a buy-now, pay-later plan in October. Capital One will test out its own offering later this year, CEO Richard Fairbank said at a conference Monday.\nWells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America Corp. are exploring adding installment plans on their credit cards, according to people familiar with the matter.Visa Inc. said it has been testing out ways for shoppers to check if they qualify for installment plans when they enter their card numbers at checkout.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AFRM":0.9,"M":0.9,"V":0.9,"PYPL":0.9,"SQ":0.9,"WMT":0.9,"AMZN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3062,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889154675,"gmtCreate":1631118074297,"gmtModify":1676530474086,"author":{"id":"3578563881684908","authorId":"3578563881684908","name":"LPN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/63e3cb5f66016a665aadbe18eaadb09b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578563881684908","idStr":"3578563881684908"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889154675","repostId":"1185415782","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185415782","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1631109899,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185415782?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-08 22:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chinese EV stocks are down in early trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185415782","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 8) Chinese EV stocks are down in early trading.  NIO, Xpeng fell over 5%, Li fell over 3%.","content":"<p>(Sept 8)&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;EV stocks&nbsp;are&nbsp;down&nbsp;in&nbsp;early&nbsp;trading.&nbsp;&nbsp;NIO,&nbsp;Xpeng&nbsp;fell&nbsp;over&nbsp;5%,&nbsp;Li&nbsp;fell&nbsp;over&nbsp;3%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5c8522469d717c9ea7cfe197df22bf04\" tg-width=\"279\" tg-height=\"290\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Amazon Video and Kindle are also frequently cited as examples of reader apps.</p>\n<p>Spotify and Netflix once allowed users to pay for services in-app, but have since stopped that form of billing for new members amid a dispute with Apple over the hefty commission it charges. Downloading the Netflix app, for example, will allow you to sign in — but only if you have an existing account. The app otherwise tells you to \"join and come back\" once you have an account.</p>\n<p>Spotify did not immediately respond to a request from CNN Business for comment about the change. Netflix declined to comment.</p>\n<p>\"To ensure a safe and seamless user experience, the App Store's guidelines require developers to sell digital services and subscriptions using Apple's in-app payment system,\" Apple said, adding that it is allowing for the change \"because developers of reader apps do not offer in-app digital goods and services for purchase.\"</p>\n<p>The update will make it easier for some developers to bypass hefty charges imposed by Apple. The company's commissions go as high as 30% on some purchases made through its platform. Developers have said they have little choice but to comply, since Apple does not allow customers to download apps from any source other than the company's official store.</p>\n<p><b>'Divide and conquer'?</b></p>\n<p>The issue is at the heart of an EU antitrust investigation and a lawsuit brought against Apple by Fortnite-maker Epic Games.

Amazon Video and Kindle are also frequently cited as examples of reader apps.\nSpotify and Netflix once allowed users to pay for services in-app, but have since stopped that form of billing for new members amid a dispute with Apple over the hefty commission it charges. Downloading the Netflix app, for example, will allow you to sign in — but only if you have an existing account. The app otherwise tells you to \"join and come back\" once you have an account.\nSpotify did not immediately respond to a request from CNN Business for comment about the change. Netflix declined to comment.\n\"To ensure a safe and seamless user experience, the App Store's guidelines require developers to sell digital services and subscriptions using Apple's in-app payment system,\" Apple said, adding that it is allowing for the change \"because developers of reader apps do not offer in-app digital goods and services for purchase.\"\nThe update will make it easier for some developers to bypass hefty charges imposed by Apple. The company's commissions go as high as 30% on some purchases made through its platform. Developers have said they have little choice but to comply, since Apple does not allow customers to download apps from any source other than the company's official store.\n'Divide and conquer'?\nThe issue is at the heart of an EU antitrust investigation and a lawsuit brought against Apple by Fortnite-maker Epic Games. A verdict in the Fortnite case is due any day now. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted late Wednesday that Apple's \"special deal\" for some media apps amounted to the latest in a \"day-by-day recalculation of divide and conquer in hopes of getting away with most of their tying practices.\"\n\"Apple should open up iOS on the basis of hardware, stores, payments and services each competing individually and on their merits,\" he wrote.\nApple's announcement comes about a week after the company said it would relax some restrictions on how iPhone app makers could communicate with customers outside its App Store.\nThe company said last week that \"developers can use communications, such as email, to share information about payment methods outside of their iOS app,\" as long as users consent to receiving those emails and have the right to opt out.\nThe announcement also comes after South Korea passed a law that will allow developers to select which payment systems to use to process in-app purchases. That means they may be able to bypass hefty charges imposed by Apple and Google (GOOGL).","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NFLX":0.9,"SPOT":0.9,"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2322,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
