HSBC Malaysia has launched Visa Instalments, a new credit option to establish fixed repayment terms for select purchases over a set period of time on e-commerce platforms.
The bank said that its Visa cardholders can now instantly select to pay for their purchases in equal instalments at participating merchant websites.
HSBC added that the instalment plans are offered with 0% interest-rate and range from 3 months for minimum purchases of RM300 and up to 36 months for purchases of RM2000 and above.
All instalment plans selected for the purchase amount within an eligible HSBC customers’ total credit limit will be approved automatically, with no new credit checks or additional lending required.
Cardholders will also be able to access Visa Instalments on international merchants’ e-commerce platforms by 2022.
