Thursday 2 November 2023 08:04 CET | News

US-based Generations Federal Credit Union (GFCU) has launched GEN Pay, a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution, in collaboration with equipifi.

By connecting equipifi, a white-label SaaS designed for financial institutions, to its banking core, GEN Pay provides personalised BNPL offers to members that align with their financial health on eligible debit card transactions. GFCU’s members can access GEN Pay via their online banking account to view and accept their BNPL offers.

According to officials, the addition of BNPL enables GFCU to provide its members with a purchase and budgeting solution, as well as a trusted payment option that many customers are already familiar with. GEN Pay is part of GFCU’s objective to develop an elevated suite of debit card offerings to meet the evolving needs of its current and future customers.

Recent research data shows that a large share of BNPL users reside in the US, with the number reaching approximately 70 million in the region. The number increased by 56.1% compared to 2022 and accounts for approximately 22% of all BNPL users worldwide.

GEN Pay’s features and capabilities

With the new BNPL solution, customers can make purchases using their debit cards, while also being able to view available offers on eligible purchases, decide their instalment plan, and receive their purchase amount deposited back into their account within 24 hours. Eligible purchases for offers need to be made with a debit card in the past 60 days and amount to at least USD 100, while not being a cash equivalent purchase, including ATM withdrawal, money order, or cash advance.

In addition to the newly launched solution, GFCU also provides its customers with checking and savings accounts, eServices, loans, credit cards, investments, and insurance. For its commercial clients, the credit union offers savings, loans, and insurance services.
