Latitudepay’s financial services
Latitudepay was modeled after Genoapay, an earlier version of a BNPL loan shopping service that was established in New Zealand in 2017. LP is owned by Latitude Financial, which already has a network of 2.6 million customers in Australia and New Zealand. It is an umbrella company that offers loans, credit cards, and insurance services. They already have a proven track record in the world of loans and online/in-store credit shopping.
Latitudepay and other small BNPL companies such as Creditline share a financial connection; The latter uses Latitude Go Mastercard and Latitude Gem Visa, which are under Latitudepay’s main company, Latitude Financial. Its operations though are completely different. Where Creditline offers many specific options, Latitudepay is a more simple and no-frills BNPL loaning plan.
The ten-payment plan system

The initial payment is also light at just 10% of the total. You can easily prepare for your payments. Stick to the rest of the installment plan, and all is good. Installments are set up automatically on your registered card. You will also be notified of upcoming payments on your schedule.
In case of failure to make the next installment, you will be charged a $10 late fee. In between, you can make extra payments off your set loan with no extra fees, allowing you to finish the plan sooner. That’s it – No other fees and interest rates to worry about.
