¹For example, a $1,100 purchase could be split into 2 payments of $553.75, with the first payment due today ($7.50 origination fee, representing a 35.70% APR with total of payments $1,107.50) or a $400 payment could be split into 4 biweekly payments of $102 with the first payment due today ($8 origination fee, representing a 34.75% APR with total of payments $408). For a $400 purchase, you could make 8 payments of $52.37 with the first payment due today ($18.97 origination fee, representing a 34.99% APR with total of payments $418.97). Not all customers qualify for all repayment options. Different repayment options may result in different APRs for the same purchase amount. Origination fees are prepaid as a finance charge with the first payment. Actual fees vary by purchase amount (e.g., $0.50–$124.00) and will be shown at checkout. Examples exclude taxes and shipping.

I am really grateful for this buy now pay later app because it helps me stretch my check to be able to cover all of my bills without accuring late fees or cutoff fees! It's super easy to use and easy to make payments. However, you cannot pay with your cash app card. You will need to transfer the money to a different card. Other than that small inconvenience, it's such a great app. I love using zip!

Extremely convenient, and easy to use. The best pay in 4 option available in my opinion. Even the pay in store, they send a card, and all you do is type in the amount and your card is ready to pay with. Comes in handy. They also increase rapidly as long as you pay your payments. I have been using them for at least a year. Zero issues or complaints. Wonderful, thank you Zip

I think they should have a grace period, I have a pretty high rate of paying on time and almost never missing a payment. My record is spot less. Yet, the one time I need like 2 more days until I get paid, suddenly I'm hit with fees and my account is frozen..Update: this BNPL let's you do 8 split payments, which would be cool BUT and this is a big one, if you move any of your payment days, you lose the 8 payments option indefinitely. That's crazy they have a penalty for something they offer..
