Our take
The rise of eCommerce has increased the demand for flexible and reliable payment solutions. Consumers seek convenience and security in online transactions, while merchants need systems that enhance customer loyalty. Traditional payment methods often fail to meet these expectations, leading to lost sales and customer dissatisfaction.
Ratepay addresses this problem by offering "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) solutions. Its white-label payment system integrates into merchants' online shops, allowing customers to make purchases on account, in instalments, or via direct debit without leaving the brand's site.
Supported by a robust infrastructure and a commitment to customised solutions, Ratepay has become a leader in the BNPL market. Its successful collaborations with various eCommerce platforms and financial service providers position them for continued growth.
