We’re at the end of another year, which is always a good time to review the past and plan ahead for the future.

This has been an incredible year for us. We issued over 200,000 loans, released version 3 of the app to strong reviews, rolled out the app in Ghana, and are launching great new features in the coming days.

Relive 4 of our favourite themes of 2017 — none of which would have been possible without you.

Fun

You took selfies in front of our BRT adverts, made us jealous with your dance steps to our jingle, and won brand new smartphones as a result.

You also told us your Paylater Stories — which inspired and challenged us to do even more.

Partnerships

You sent well-wishes as we partnered with some of Africa’s most prominent companies — Ecobank, Interswitch..

…and some of the world’s largest — Facebook & Google

App improvements

You were shocked when loan disbursement times were slashed from 24 hours to less than 5 minutes.

You upgraded when we launched version 3 of the app, which brought larger, better and more convenient loans for everyone.

Milestones

You and more than 1,000 others trusted us as a daily solution to your financial needs.

You installed and used the app consistently as we crossed 500,000 downloads.

2017 has been a fantastic year for Paylater and we’re gearing up for an even more exciting future, with your continued feedback and support.

If you haven’t yet, please consider joining us as we’d love to have you along for the ride.

See you in 2018!

The Paylater app is available for download on the Google Play Store here
