In its simplest terms, Give Now, Pay Later hits all the right boxes for the way people not only want to donate, but EXPECT to donate to charitable organizations.


It’s easy, flexible and convenient.


While it’s a new payment concept for financial donors, so many of them have already crossed the path of its better-known sibling in the consumer space: Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL).


And the usage so far, points toward flexible payment options being the way of the future.

From a consumer standpoint, Buy Now, Pay Later is all the rage. By 2025, BNPL is expected to account for approximately $680 billion in global transactions. It will account for nearly a quarter of all global ecommerce transitions by 2026, up from just 9% in 2021.


A big reason for this rapid growth? A steep decline in the overall usage of credit cards. In particular, Generation Z has been cautious of the use of credit cards, and shown personal preferences toward applications that allow them to spread payment over time without interest. The fact that it’s offered via a seamless digital experience is also a major plus for these digital natives.
