The company also announces several industry experts joining executive team

Splitit, a global payment technology company (ASX:SPT), today announces continued global expansion as the company demonstrates a strong start to 2021. With new progression into key verticals and a new global partnership with a leading financial services institution, Splitit maintains its strong position as the only buy now pay later solution that enables shoppers to pay in instalments directly on their credit card.

“With nearly $3 trillion of available credit on US credit cards, the death of the credit card has been greatly exaggerated,” said Brad Paterson, CEO of Splitit. “Consumers continue to use credit cards because of the unique benefits they offer including convenience and rewards programs. Splitit is the only payment solution that empowers shoppers to use their earned, available credit in a manner that fits within their cash flow budget.”

Splitit has added several new partnerships within the professional services sector, including Findex, one of Australia's leading providers of integrated financial advisory and accounting services and CoFi, a multi-party platform for elective medical procedures. The professional services industry is a priority market for the company, building upon its existing partnerships with QuickFee, Finance4Group and Green Feather.

“With more than $2.3BN in addressable sales volume now signed and currently integrating, Splitit acceptance continues to grow with some great new brands and further expansion into professional services, luxury goods, home furnishings and outdoor,” Paterson said. “Our global platform and breadth of partnerships, combined with an AOV of $1K make us an attractive partner to merchants across the globe.”
