Sell on instalments.
Get paid upfront.

Join Phela’s merchant network and offer instalment payments to salaried employees. Phela settles the full purchase amount to you upfront. The employee repays through automated payroll deductions. You carry zero credit risk.

How it works

Four steps to zero-risk BNPL

1

Employee purchases from your store

A salaried employee on Phela’s network selects your product or service and chooses to pay in instalments through their payroll.

2

You receive full payment upfront

Phela settles the full transaction value to your account within the agreed settlement window. You do not wait for the employee to finish repaying.

3

Employee repays through payroll

Instalments are deducted from the employee’s salary each pay cycle. Automatic. Guaranteed. The employee’s affordability is verified before the purchase is approved.

4

Zero credit risk for you

Phela and the bank handle all credit risk. You are a seller, not a lender. Your payout is guaranteed regardless of the employee’s repayment schedule.

What you get

Growth without the liability

Higher average order value

Customers spend more when they can pay in instalments. Your ticket size increases without you extending any credit.
