Everything You Need To Know About The Payment Plan Trend

Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)  has taken off across the world. Over the last couple of years, companies like Afterpay have let shoppers take home their products without having to pay for the entire cost all at once.

For many Australians, BNPL has become a common way to purchase anything from physical goods to medical treatments and dental.

A study with Mozo found that 5.8 million Australians have a BNLP account and the number is growing. 

Over the last couple of years there have been many Buy Now Pay Later platforms, but it is important to understand which option to choose from a business perspective. This is so you can avoid any unnecessary fees and charges as well as making sure you are getting paid on time so you have a consistent and reliable revenue stream. Some important things to consider are: 

Is it PCI Compliant? 

With MyHealth&Beauty our payment plans are. The digital financial systems used are compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI). This is an important thing to check so you know your clients data security is taken seriously. 

Is it a trusted financial service?

MyHealth&Beauty holds its own Direct Debit User Licence and complies with the Australian Payments Network Bulk Electronic Clearing System Procedural Standards as a trusted Financial Services Provider.

Is it fully licenced? 

We hold an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL #509400) provided by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). MyHealth&Beauty is an authorised representative of PayVantage Capital. 

Is it under Corporate Governance?

Each year since 2003, MyHealth&Beauty is independently audited to ensure good corporate governance to meet our responsibilities as a Financial Service Provider and continually support your practice in a safe and trusted way.

If you are a client looking to try one of our payment plans through MyHealth&Beauty, here are some of the amazing benefits: 

Avoid paying interest 

One of the biggest reasons you should choose BNPL over a credit card is to avoid paying interest. 

Minimal fees 

We don’t charge fees. Of course in the case of late payment, there will be a charge. But other than that you will be paying only the price of the product or treatment. 

It suits your pay cycle 

With MyHealth&Beauty you can choose the frequency of making your repayments. This could be on a weekly or fortnightly basis, depending on what suits you. 

Handle large purchases

Do you really want a treatment done, but can’t afford to splurge all at once? If you want a treatment or procedure done without having to save up, we can break down the cost in instalments that suit you. This allows you to stay within your budget and stay on track with your necessary payments.
