Apple Inc. has officially launched its 'Apple Pay Later' service on October 24, 2023. The service was previously in beta testing but is now available to all users in the United States. Apple Pay Later is a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service that allows users to make purchases and pay for them over time. The service is integrated into the Apple Pay platform and is available on all devices that support Apple Pay. Users can choose to pay for their purchases in four interest-free installments every two weeks, or they can opt for a longer-term payment plan with interest. The service does not require a credit check for the short-term plan, but the long-term plan does require a credit check. The launch of Apple Pay Later is part of a larger trend of tech companies entering the BNPL market.
