The i2c platform offers a wide range of installment lending capabilities aimed at delivering flexibility to issuers and program managers to craft the consumer or commercial installment experience that fits their use case.  Issuer and merchant-funded programs are supported, along with the pricing flexibility allowing issuers to set a fixed or variable interest rate based on a rate index.  Additionally, i2c offers the flexibility to create customer-specific installment plans to ensure the right installment is presented to the right customer at the right time.  

With the i2c platform, clients can create unique pre-, during and post-purchase installment experiences to fit any use case, as described below:

  • Pre-Purchase Installments: Stand-alone or card-linked installment loans that are approved pre-purchase allow clients to fund an installment loan account or issue a virtual/physical card to facilitate the transaction.\
  • During-Purchase Installments: Through i2c’s partnership with Visa, i2c issuers can leverage Visa Installment solutions to deliver BNPL offers in line with the merchant checkout experience at participating retailers.
  • Post-Purchase Installments: Enable cardholders the ability to convert a card transaction into an installment repayment plan after a purchase is made.

All installment capabilities are delivered through i2c’s modular platform architecture, providing thousands of pre-coded functions that can be rapidly configured into unique product solutions.  All capabilities are made available through the i2c white-labeled consumer web and mobile interfaces or via API based on client need.
