Splitit and Ant International’s Antom have partnered to enable merchants to offer their customers a card-linked installment payment option. The companies will launch this offering in the United States and then expand it globally. This payment option is powered by Splitit’s embedded white-label platform that enables card-linked installment payments using consumers’ existing credit, and Antom’s payment processing platform and merchant network. For consumers, the card-linked installment payment option will provide purchasing flexibility, with no credit checks, no applications, no hidden fees and no change to their credit card relationship. For merchants, it will provide a way to offer flexible payments at scale, with less complexity and higher approval rates. This option will help improve conversion rates and increase average order value. Splitit and Antom will also simplify international payment processing for merchants who engage in cross-border commerce. “This collaboration supports our commitment to helping merchants achieve sustainable growth across international markets,” Gary Liu, general manager of Antom at Ant International, said
