Payment in three instalments

Payment in three instalments allows e-shop customers to spread the payment for their purchase over three monthly instalments. The merchant will receive a receipt of payment immediately and we will also remit the full value of the purchase within the standard time period. With this payment method, the customer can spread the cost of purchasing goods that they would have to save up for and postpone purchasing with other payment methods.
