Santander’s Buy Now, Pay Later Platform
Santander Consumer Finance, a business of Spain-based Banco Santander, Europe’s fourth largest bank, has 19 million customers and operates through 63,000 merchants.
Consumer Finance, not the bank’s credit card unit, operates the Zinia buy now, pay later (BNPL) platform, which opened for business in Germany a year ago. Zinia offers installment credit for online and in-store purchases.
Santander Consumer Finance will expand Zinia to the other 15 countries in Europe in which it operates this year beginning with the Netherlands.
Zinia’s BNPL platform utilizes machine learning-based, real-time credit risk assessment technology developed by Santander’s Openbank subsidiary. Digital-only Openbank has 1.7 million customers in five countries in Europe and the Americas.
