Bill Me Later Transactional Payment Solution

Bill Me Later offers U.S. online consumers a way to obtain instant credit at the point of transaction through Bill Me Later’s relationship with CIT Bank. Bill Me Later is not a chartered financial institution, and relies on CIT Bank to extend credit as the lender to Bill Me Later customers utilizing the Bill Me Later service. When a consumer makes a purchase using the Bill Me Later service, CIT Bank funds the consumer loan at the point of sale and advances funds to the merchant. Bill Me Later subsequently purchases the receivable related to the consumer loan extended by CIT Bank. Bill Me Later accounts are most commonly opened on a U.S. merchant site offering Bill Me Later as a payment method, but can also be opened via a qualified PayPal account or at the Bill Me Later website. A buyer enters his or her birth date and the last four digits of his or her social security number and, subject to credit approval by CIT Bank, Bill Me Later opens an account for the buyer. This account can be used on any other U.S. merchant site offering the Bill Me Later payment option or as a funding source in a qualified PayPal account on certain merchants in the U.S. who accept PayPal. Once established, customers can then manage their accounts online with access to their transaction history and monthly statements and can elect to establish recurring electronic monthly payments.
