Hi,

A bit over a week ago I posted regarding a recent announcement by VISA that following a pilot, ChargeAfter would be partnering as a BNPL provider in Europe.

I mentioned I had emailed SPLITIT asking some questions and that I would share any response I received.

Here is an extract of the email I sent:
T

I would ask that as soon as possible you please respond to the followng questions:

Is the announcement by VISA correct (refer to link above)?If 'Yes'; does this mean VISA will not be further piloting the SPLITIT BNPL solution in Europe?Are there any other pilots between SPLITIT and VISA still in progress in other locations or regions, or have these concluded?If pilots are still in progress, in what locations or regions? andIs SPLITIT aware of what other BNPL provides VISA is also piloting with in these regions?
