Ashneer Grover, Co-Founder and Managing Director, BharatPe said on the launch, “We are excited to shake up the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) category. postpe is a product built on 3 simple principles: 1) Consumer should be able to pay using credit everywhere – QRs, Card Machine or Online; 2) Consumer should be able to convert into EMI at ease – not inconvenienced at point of sale and 3) Merchant should not be charged for accepting payments through BNPL.”
“Our aim with postpe is to make EMI and credit available for everyday purchases. ‘Golgappa’ on EMI as well ‘iPhone’ on EMI is our motto. We find the current BNPL plays in Indian market suboptimal trying to copy the west for online checkouts whereas the true market in India is offline. postpe will be the leader in BNPL space in India by virtue of being no cost to merchants and universal acceptance.” added Ashneer.
