Directly integrated into the Samsung Wallet, the feature lets shoppers link an eligible Mastercard or Visa credit card, which can be used for instalment payments at the point-of-sale with no credit check.
The service will roll out this month on a host of Samsung Galaxy handsets in about 20 US states, including Colorado, Illinois and New Mexico.
Nandan Sheth, CEO, Splitit, says: “For the first time in the US, in-store card-linked instalments are available at scale through Samsung Wallet.”
