LazyPay, a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) solution by PayU Finance, has gone live with ‘LazyPay EMI’ where merchants can offer instant cardless-EMI option to their consumers for ticket size upto 1 lakh, the company said in a release.

LazyPay has also integrated with PayU payment gateway to tap into 3.5 lakh merchants. It plans to directly onboard 1,000 merchants across segments such as EdTech, insurance, EVs, home furnishing and HealthTech by March 2022, it said.

“Covid has globally changed consumer preferences for credit, with millions of consumers opting for interest-free credit at checkout points on online platforms, and facilitator. In the next two years we expect our BNPL EMI product to be the largest contributor to the overall credit disbursals by LazyPay,” said Anup Agrawal, business head of LazyPay.

LazyPay EMI plans to meet the credit gap in India’s market, which has 150 million users transacting digitally but only 30 million consumers having credit cards.

EMIs range from three-12 months with zero to minimal interest. The process of lending credit is independent of a person’s credit score and is therefore more inclusive of new-to-credit consumers.
