Apple's New Pay Later Service: Everything You Need to Know.

Apple Pay Later is a new payment installment plan program that allows users to split up payments for a purchase into four equal installments. Unlike many of its BNPL competitors, Apple is not allowing consumers to make their Apple Pay Later payments with a credit card. The company evidently sees that as a form of paying off debt by going into more debt, which is never a great idea. Apple Pay Later has plans to eventually report consumers’ payments to credit bureaus.

Apple introduces "Pay Later" service for seamless payments.

Apple Pay Later is a new service that allows users to make purchases and pay for them later in four equal installments every two weeks. While it is interest-free and does not require a credit application, users are only financing 75% of the cost, have a credit period of six weeks, and can only finance up to $1,000. Additionally, users do not receive any rewards, unlike credit or charge cards. While it may be a better option for those who carry a balance on their credit card or cannot get other credit, it is not risk-free and should only be used if users can comfortably afford the repayments.
