Didn't Zip pay pull out of Australia? Places are still offering it. I never really used these buy now pay later platforms but you could stretch a purchase out over like 6 months with Zip

Zip is still around, they launched a new product fairly recently.

Interesting. I just remember they announced they were pulling out of Australia. Then they got hacked. And they were just still around after

You might be thinking of latitude

I must be. There are too many of those companies here. This Machine Kills had a great episode on them a few years ago and why there are so many in Australia

Hmm, I thought they still offered it? I remember the reduced/limited the amount you could have without a credit check a little while back.

Don't believe so, you can still use it at places that offer it. Pretty sure they expanded the service to also work as a Visa card so you can technically use it anywhere, not just at retailers that offer it (no idea if there's extra costs involved in that though).
