At Float, were redefining how the world pays with credit. Float offers shoppers a smarter way to pay with their credit card by splitting big purchases over up to 24 interest-free monthly instalments using their available credit limit. It’s all the perks of credit cards, but none of the cons. No interest or fees, no applications or credit checks, no extra credit – and no catch. At the same time, Float merchants enjoy more than 134% bigger orders and radically improved conversions. They also get direct access to millions of pre-approved shoppers. Float’s instalment offering is fully customisable, giving merchants more control and flexibility than ever before. It’s all made possible by Float’s innovative technology, built on what we call ‘head-in-the-sky, feet-on-the-ground’ thinking. By giving their shoppers the most flexible, frictionless and financially responsible way to shop, merchants are partnering with us to build a new economy - where buying BIG, means paying small. Welcome to Float.
