Why will Installments increase your sales?

If you offer local credit card options already, adding installments is simple. Offering an installment payment option enables high-priced products and services to be more accessible to Latin Americans. Unlike when using a traditional credit card, in which the consumer pays the full price upfront and pays off his balance over time with interest, installments are offered to the customer at the point of sale by the merchant.

  • Make expensive goods and services available to Latin Americans.
  • Break Credit Card low limit barriers.
  • Interest-free: you can choose between pay for interests and give the best experience to your customer, or charge a little extra fee from them when they opt for installments.

"By understanding that Brazilians need (and love) installments, we co-sponsored EBANX for a 30-day installments campaign, interest-free. The results were amazing: 15K new customers, 22K transactions and a 280% goal achievement."
