“We are already working closely with the QuadPay team and expect to drive significant synergies as we come together to capitalise on the global opportunity.”

It allows customers to pay in four interest-free instalments over six weeks for both their online and in-store purchases.
The acquisition of QuadPay brings $70m in monthly transaction volume and over two million customers to Zip.
