Is Open Pay where you pay no deposit just a monthly or fortnightly repayment?
Hi Carmel,
Thank you for reaching out to finder.
Openpay is one of several buy-now-pay-later platforms that allow consumers to make purchases with partner merchants and make flexible, staggered repayments, without paying any interest. Yes, you are correct that it is a no deposit plan as well for the repayment you choose your own plan and you can reschedule to avoid late fees. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
