JB Hi-Fi and Afterpay: How does buy now pay later work at JB?
From today, both JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys will accept major buy now pay later services Afterpay and Zip.
Offering shoppers the ability to split the cost of their purchases into instalments, buy now pay later (BNPL) services have taken the world by storm in recent years.
Despite the growing list of stores offering major services Afterpay and Zip though, entertainment retailer JB Hi-Fi has remained notably absent.
While the store has offered LatitudePay for some time, the store's decision not to take advantage of the demand for more popular services has left customers scratching their heads.
In response to this, the JB Hi-Fi Group has announced that both JB Hi-Fi and recent acquisition The Good Guys will now be accepting Afterpay and Zip in-store and online.
