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.
