Would you prefer a credit card that lets you choose installment plans for individual purchases?
Splitit unveiled the Splitit World Mastercard, a white-label credit product designed to help banks offer installment plans directly to their customers. The card allows users to set a specific dollar threshold for automatic payment splitting, with purchases below that amount due in full within 30 days.
Why it matters
Financial institutions can now provide point-of-purchase installment options without the need to build complex lending infrastructure from the ground up. This shift aims to integrate flexible repayment tools into existing banking relationships.
The product features no annual or late fees, with users setting a minimum purchase threshold for financing, such as $200. These thresholds will determine which transactions are split into installments versus those paid in full within 30 days.
The players
Splitit
A financial technology provider that develops installment-payment infrastructure for credit card issuers and banks.
The details
Cardholders manage their repayment preferences through their bank's mobile application, where they can define the exact purchase value that triggers an installment plan. An AI assistant named Finn monitors transaction activity to suggest repayment strategies or identify potential installment opportunities for the user. Participating banks maintain control over their own underwriting and risk management standards while utilizing Splitit's backend processor.
