What is Float?
What is Float?

Float is a UK buy now, pay later platform that lets your customers split purchases over up to 12 interest-free, fee-free monthly instalments using the available limit on your existing Visa or Mastercard credit card, without any application or credit check. Think of it like an interest-free ‘budget facility’ – you get to enjoy your purchases today, pay for them over time and you don’t take out any extra credit to do so, either.  

What makes Float unique compared to other “buy now, pay later” solutions?

Float is the most flexible, frictionless, and financially responsible buy now, pay later platform in the United Kingdom. Here are just a few reasons why: 

  • Frictionless checkouts for your shoppers, with no applications or credit checks. 
  • No limits on order sizes (Float’s average order is around 10x larger than other buy now pay later platforms), meaning you can sell those big-ticket items with ease. 
  • Longer and more flexible repayment periods than any other buy now, pay later platforms. 
  • Customisable for your business – the number of instalments offered, minimum order values and even the settlement terms for your sales made through Float.
How Float Works
How does Float work for merchants?

Float is a payment method for your customers (we call them ‘shoppers’). It can be offered via ecommerce checkout, on an invoice, or even over email/text message. 

When a shopper makes a purchase using Float, they get to enjoy your goods/services today and pay in interest-free monthly instalments. We take on the risk of collecting repayments from shoppers and settle you in full.

Is Float customisable for my business?

Absolutely! You get to customise your Float offering to suit your business’s needs in 2 ways: 

  • The number of instalments offered to your shoppers; and 
  • Minimum order values.
