Amazon Pay is a digital payment option that offers a hassle-free way to purchase products on the Amazon marketplace using EMI. It’s a one-time process that takes a few minutes and does not require you to add your credit card information.
It is a virtual line of credit that Amazon offers to eligible customers to purchase products from a wide range of categories, including electronics, fashion, groceries and daily essentials. In addition to shopping, customers can also use the Amazon Pay Later option to pay for bills.
A major benefit of using Amazon Pay Later is that customers can pay for their orders in the subsequent month, and that too without any additional charges. However, people who opt for EMIs up to 12 months will have to pay nominal interest rates.
“Amazon Pay Later is a unique service that will help customers expand their access to credit and experience the most convenient option of making payments.”, says Mahendra Nerurkar, CEO, Amazon Pay India.
