ChargeAfter, a leading Point-of-Sale Financing technology platform, recently  announced a strategic partnership with Visa to help provide Visa cardholders with more choice and flexibility in payments when buying goods and services in-store or online. Visa has also made a strategic investment in ChargeAfter.

Through this partnership Visa’s network of sellers, acquirers and issuing banks will have the option to distribute a broad range of Point of Sale Financing and credit instruments to eCommerce and in-store sellers worldwide using ChargeAfter’s platform.

This collaboration will also enable Visa’s global network of issuing banks to participate in ChargeAfter’s network as direct lenders. It helps to further democratize payments by empowering Visa cardholders with additional payment choices and increased credit options at the Point of Sale.

“By combining ChargeAfter’s financing platform with Visa’s global reach, we have created one of the largest networks of global Point-of-Sale Financing,” said Meidad Sharon, CEO of ChargeAfter. “We are very excited about the new collaboration and investment. Visa and ChargeAfter share a common vision to make payments quick, convenient, safe and accessible. ChargeAfter’s vision is to help every consumer, worldwide, gain access to financing options that best fit their unique needs, and that are available to the consumer when and where they are ready to purchase - online, in-store and over the phone. As part of the continued effort to democratize credit, we’re placing the power of payment options and flexibility in payments back into the hands of the consumer. We are creating the next wave of credit.”

“Consumers increasingly demand more choice and flexibility when making a payment, whether for their everyday needs or high-value items. Working with ChargeAfter, we aim to make it easier for sellers and financial institutions to offer a range of tailored, personalized financing options at the point of sale, allowing consumers to manage their payments in a way that works for them,” said Shahar Friedman, Head of Visa Innovation Studio Tel-Aviv.
