APCU/Center Parc Credit Union is the First to Launch BNPL in Georgia

Members can now split their eligible debit card purchases to pay over time.

APCU/Center Parc Credit Union announced that it has added Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) to its suite of online banking products.

APCU/Center Parc is the first credit union to launch BNPL in Georgia. It has selected equipifi, a leading BNPL platform designed for financial institutions to power its solution. With this launch, APCU/Center Parc will extend personalized BNPL offers for members to split payments on eligible debit card transactions. APCU/Center Parc members will be able to view and accept pre-qualified BNPL offers in their digital banking experience.

“At APCU/Center Parc, we are dedicated to our members who have chosen to bank with us to reach their goals and build their futures,” said Blake Graham, President and CEO at APCU/Center Parc. “With the launch of BNPL powered by equipifi, our members will receive state-of-the-art purchase financing that is personalized to their budget and needs, from the financial institution that they trust.”

“Buy Now, Pay Later is a financial service that consumers want and are increasingly expecting from their primary financial institutions,” said Bryce Deeney, CEO and co-founder of equipifi. “By launching BNPL, APCU/Center Parc is delivering safe and intuitive access to credit in the way that their membership prefers.”

APCU/Center Parc joins dozens of credit unions across the United States that have launched their own BNPL product to their members. BNPL is projected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 25.5 percent between 2022 and 2026.
