Aren't merchant fees a bit thin at 4% considering the credit risk?
The rate merchants pay for the facility is set by Afterpay. The 4% rate assumption was probably valid 12-18 months ago when Afterpay was an unknown quantity in the market. We have spoken to numerous retailers who use Afterpay; the recent commission structures in the sub-$20 million revenue business category appear to be between 6-7% plus a nominal fee per transaction. Customer satisfaction is very high with over 85% of revenue being generated by repeat customers.
