Shop Now, Pay Later With TendoPay
Have you ever had that experience when you want to purchase a product but you can’t because:
- You don’t have much cash with you, or
- You don’t have a credit card.
Frustrating, isn’t it. As much as you want to apply for a credit card so you could buy big items and pay for it in installment, you can’t. Sadly, you need to have a bank account first and you need to establish that you are a worthy borrower.
Not that you’re not worthy, but banks can be picky. If you can’t back up your payment capacity, then you need to look into other means, just like the Buy Now, Pay Later scheme offered by online lenders.
The BNPL scheme targets unbanked Filipinos who don’t have access to credit cards. Through BNPL, you can make purchases from any of the lender’s partner merchants and pay for the item in equal monthly installments. This could range from a month to 12 months, depending on the lender.
Speaking of lender, there is one that is getting popular these days – TendoPay.
What is TendoPay?
TendoPay is an installment plan solution that allows customers to pay for online purchases in two to 24 monthly installments.
To apply, you can either:
- Create an account through their website. Take note that the approval isn’t automatic. All required documents must be uploaded first in order for TendoPay to review your account. You will be informed of the status of your registration after 48 hours (or earlier, depending on the volume of applications). Once approved, you can now start shopping at TendoPay partner merchants.
- Use TendoPay as your payment method every time you make a purchase from their e-commerce merchant partners. You will still be required to register and fill out an online application form before TendoPay can process your installment application.
As of this writing, TendoPay’s growing list of partner merchants include Lazada, Anson’s, Zalora, Royal Gem, Hapi Homes, Harman Kardon, Data Blitz, Kimstore, and Henry’s Camera among others. You can check the complete list of merchants here.
